Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her. The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.


A huge congratulations on your wedding day @andymort85 and thank you so much for sharing your beautiful flowers with us 💜

Last weekend, we received a beautiful donation of flowers from a local florist 💐 The flowers had been used in a wedding the day before, and were donated to the hospice on behalf of the bride and groom. This kind act truly brightened our staff and patients’ day. Thank you!

Andrew, a patient on our Inpatient Unit, recently received a surprise visit from Wigan Warriors player Liam Marshall! Liam kindly came to visit Andrew after learning that he is a huge Wigan Warriors fan, surprising not just Andrew but his grandson Tyler too who is also a fan💜

Perfectly simple description of dying. Everyone needs to hear this. Let’s talk about dying 💙

IMHO dying is not as bad as you think. Powerful piece from Doctor Kathryn Mannix on why we need to talk about death.

As it is National Care Leavers Week please share this Observer Cover story where I brought together some people who had been in care. The headline reads "A historic portrait of Care system success". Success is living with the past. #foundlingmuseum theguardian.com/society/2022/j…
