Tree Of Celebration

This is a photo of my husband Cyril Jarvis and the kind nurses who looked after him during his last weeks fighting cancer.

Cyril was always referred to affectionately as “squirrel” or “Jarv”, so we decided to have a squirrel put up on the Forest Holme’s Tree of Celebration in the hospice garden for a donation to the charity. We appreciate times are hard for everyone during this pandemic but we would like to ask everyone who can afford it to donate anything you can to keep this much needed charity going.

If you have lost a loved-one at Forest Holme having a leaf with an inscription is a lovely way to remember them, while also helping the hospice to continue providing care, love and support to other patients and their families going through the most difficult time of their lives. Ann Jarvis

Dedicate a leaf in memory of a loved one

For a donation to Forest Holme Hospice Charity, you can make a dedication to a loved-one on our Tree of Celebration.

Each leaf will be engraved with a personalised message for your loved one and will be displayed within our hospice garden for a year (from the day it is first mounted), after which you will be given the option to renew for another 12 months, or have your leaf returned for you to keep.

When visiting restrictions have eased, you are welcome to come and view your leaf and reflect in relaxed and comfortable surroundings.

To dedicate a leaf, please complete the form on the next page. We ask for a minimum yearly donation of £60 to dedicate a leaf, which can also be paid in monthly instalments of £5.

Each leaf has been kindly handcrafted by Dolphin Marine, and secured on the tree designed and built by Elite Fabrication and Welding Ltd.
