St Kentigern Hospice

St Kentigern Hospiceis thrilled to announce the creation of a serene and purposeful Hospice Garden. Accessible from the hospice ward, this aims to provide a peaceful and comforting environment for hospice patients, their families, and caregivers.

St Kentigern Hospice were kindly gifted a large plot of land from Castle Green Homes. This additional land is situated at the back of the hospice, off the existing hospice gardens.

Once completed, we could provide a space for patients to achieve personal goals, receive therapy, and spend time with their loved ones and even offer consultations outside. The benefit of the great outdoors on patient and carer wellbeing is vast.

In February we launched a new fundraising campaign, Grow our Gardens. If we can raise £30,000 then we can make this space one to be proud of.

But, we can't grow our gardens alone. St Kentigern Hospice are reaching out to you, the community, for support! Your generous contributions will help turn this vision into a reality, offering moments of respite, reflection, and connection. Key features of the Hospice Garden include:

• Sensory Gardens• Comfortable Seating Areas• Therapeutic Landscaping• Accessible Pathways

Community Involvement: We invite local community members, businesses, and organisations to join us in supporting this initiative. Contributions and sponsorships are welcome to help bring this valuable resource to fruition.

St Kentigern Hospice anticipates that the Hospice Garden will become a vital resource for the community, fostering a sense of connection and support during difficult times. It has been estimated that we will need a further £30,000 to make this vision possible. If you would like to support the development of this project please donate via the campaign page https://stkentigernhospice.org.uk/grow-our-gardens/

St Kentigern Hospice will keep the community updated on the progress of the project through regular updates on its website and social media channels.
