Christmas is about love, connection, and the warmth of home - something our Hospice at Home team brings to patients and families every day, not just at Christmas.

For 90% of our patients, home is where they wish to spend their final days. Our Hospice at Home Nurses make that possible - providing short-term, hands-on nursing care, to patients in their own homes.

This Christmas, help us continue to bring comfort, peace, and dignity to people at the end of life. Your donation means everything to our Nurses and the families we support.

Pippa from our Psychological Therapies Team runs Nature Therapy sessions which can help explore grief through nature connection. 🍂

Taking a moment in nature can help us to understand feelings, ease anxiety and find moments of calm and meaning.

She says: “Grief can make us feel unmoored - like we’ve lost our place in the world.

Connecting with nature can help us feel a little less alone - and a little more grounded as we navigate our grief. Nature gives us something sturdy to hold onto: its rhythms, its quiet presence, and its reminder that change, loss and renewal are part of every living thing’s story.”

To find out more about our Nature Therapies sessions, contact our Psychological Therapies team on 0117 915 9544.

‘Growing with Grief’ is the theme for this year’s and we’re sharing some of the ways you can find strength and support others through a loss.

Our Psychological Therapies Team says: “Losing a loved one isn’t something that we eventually leave behind, it’s something that we grow with and around, becoming shaped by our love for and memories of that person.

This growth doesn’t erase the pain of loss, but it does offer a hope of moving forward.”

What’s something you’ve learnt through grief? 💙

We're so proud of our Garden Volunteers! 🌻

On Saturday 15 November, a group of volunteers visited The Ardagh to collect a very special award.

This summer, assessors from RHS - Royal Horticultural Society visited the Hospice Gardens to see some of our volunteers hard at work and learn about what we do.

We were thrilled to be awarded Level 5 ('Outstanding') as part of the RHS 'It's Your Neighbourhood' Award. The award aims to celebrate the contribution of volunteers looking after a garden or community space and was presented by Bristol Lord Mayor.

Our Head Gardener, Anneke, said: "The award recognises the contribution made by volunteers to maintaining community gardens, and our community is a special one that includes patients, their families and visitors and our staff, but increasingly members of the public who use our café and visit us for our annual Open Gardens event.

"It was really lovely to celebrate so many amazing community gardens across Bristol." she added.

Interested in learning more about our gardens? Keep an eye out for details of our Open Gardens day next summer or pop along to our Hospice café in Brentry.

We recently hosted our Long Service Awards, celebrating our volunteers and all the amazing work they do. Benji received an award for volunteering in our Totterdown shop for the last 10 years. He said:

“It’s the best job I’ve ever had. It’s like a second home – it’s a proper family. You meet so many people – a customer brings me a cake in every Wednesday! I love it at the shop. If I’m not feeling my best I go down there to see the bosses - they’re amazing.”

John Broomhead, Retail Director, said: “Whenever I visit the Totterdown shop staff and customers always come up to me to tell me how fantastic Benji is. Volunteers are essential to the work we do and we couldn’t care for patients in Bristol without people like him.”
