Did you catch us on ITV Meridian this week? 📺✨

A huge thank you to Simon, one of our long-standing patients living with MND, and his wife, Jane, for sharing their story to support the Hospice.

We’re passionate about showing that our Hospice is so much more than a place people go at the end of life. It’s a place for respite, tailored pain management, quality time with loved ones, regaining independence and ongoing bereavement support.

Every moment counts and with your support, we can continue to be there for patients like Simon when they need us most.

💜 Help us make every moment count by supporting our Every Moment Matters appeal today: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/everymomentmatters?utm_source=Socials&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Every+Moment+Matter+Crowdfunder&utm_content=Button

Thank You Thursday: Alfredo & Eileen’s 28-Year Legacy of Kindness 💙🌱

For today’s , we are taking a moment to celebrate two very special members of our St. Michael's Hospice family: Alfredo and Eileen!

Since becoming volunteers back in 1996, Alfredo and Eileen have been a continuous pillar of support. Many in our community will recognise them from their incredible year-round plant sales on Aster Road in Kempshott. Growing everything from indoor greenery and herb plants to hanging baskets right on their driveway, they’ve turned a green thumb into an extraordinary force for good. 🪴🌺

To date, Alfredo and Eileen have raised nearly £67,000 to fund vital hospice care for local patients and families.

Their dedicated time, energy, and warm smiles embody everything that makes our hospice community so special. From everyone at our Hospice: thank you, Alfredo and Eileen! 🌸✨

A massive shoutout and thank you to the wonderful team at BNP Paribas!

When a printing error left 100 of our Hospice teddy bears in need of a quick costume change, the amazing staff at BNP Paribas stepped right in to save the day. They pulled off a speedy outfit change, getting all 100 bears dressed, spruced up, and ready to go back out to support our Hospice!

We are so grateful for local corporate partners like BNP Paribas who jump in with willing hands and big hearts.
