By learning about the hospice and the importance of compassionate care, students gain valuable understanding of wellbeing, community and social responsibility. We can provide assemblies, classroom talks or resources to support learning.

Your school may be able to support us behind the scenes by donating items that bring comfort or enjoyment to our patients and families – such as books, games, craft supplies, garden plants or seasonal gifts.
