Charity News

Thank you to the Bournemouth Daily Echo for recognising our Community Specialist Palliative Care Team (above) as one of their Dorset Heroes 2020. The Talbot Village Trust kindly donated £10,000 to the hospice to support our counselling service (above) through these very challenging times.

Thank you to everyone that voted for us to be the first recipient of a £1,000 donation from AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust (left).

Congratulations to Hannah (below) from the fundraising team, who gave birth to the gorgeous Jude Arthur in November 2020, weighing 7lbs and 13oz.

We are delighted to announce Lewis Hay (above) has joined the fundraising team while Hannah is on maternity leave. Lewis has fantastic experience in the charity sector and we are very pleased to have him as part of the team.

Our wonderful team of volunteer gardeners (above) made a fantastic job of making the outside of the hospice all festive over Christmas.

We are absolutely delighted that Purbeck Ice Cream (left) has once again chosen us as one of its Charities of the Year for 2021. Since they began supporting Forest Holme they have generously donated nearly £4,000 worth of ice cream for our patients, families and staff to enjoy.

Pizza with Love (right) very kindly visited the hospice between lockdowns to cook delicious fresh wood fired pizzas for all hospice staff free of charge during Hospice Care Week.

The Charity needed to come to the rescue of our Christmas Prize Draw winner, who accidently shredded her cheque when disposing of the envelope.

The slightly embarrassed winner - who shall remain anonymous - was relieved that our Chair of the Board of Trustees was available to issue a new one in time for Christmas.
