We can offer you plenty of support along the way – and you might really enjoy sharing the joys of your garden in 2017.”
Over the years Avebury Rocks has welcomed festival-goers eager to discover their new favourite band, and with the event now staged over two days there will be plenty for visitors to next year’s Avebury Rocks to enjoy. Look out for details of the event at www.prospect-hospice.net from January. Finally, Mike has a message for all Prospect Hospice supporters in Burbage and the surrounding area: “Whether you took part in one of our events, or you volunteer in one of our shops or at the Outreach Centre, or you keep a box to collect your change in for us – in fact, however you have supported Prospect Hospice in 2016 – thank you. It has made a real difference for the patients and families who have needed our help. Our best wishes for a merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.
Mike Kennedy. If you see him around the town, do say hello and let him know if you can offer your help for Prospect!
People can support the work of the hospice in 2017. Mike Kennedy would love to hear from anyone in Burbage with a garden that they think the public would enjoy experiencing during the spring, summer or even autumn
