We were delighted to recently welcome Jayde Adams to the Hospice, following her fantastic hosting of our Moments of Light event at the Bristol Beacon.

Jayde spent time on the ward meeting patients and staff, bringing her trademark warmth, humour and compassion to everyone she met. A particularly special moment was her visit with Craig, a fan who has seen her perform several times, including her recent Bristol show. They shared stories about comedy, favourite local venues and their South Bristol roots, with plenty of laughs along the way.

It was a truly meaningful visit. Thank you, Jayde, for taking the time to learn more about our work and for creating such special moments for our patients and staff.

When Amy’s brother Will was diagnosed with a rare type of brain tumour, he was reluctant to accept any help. But staying at the Hospice meant the family could make the most of the precious time they had left together.

Volunteer Driver, Tim, drove Will and his son to a Bristol City football match, giving them the chance and freedom to do something they loved together. Amy said, "Every time my nephew visited the Hospice, the care team would expand the Cuddle Bed so he could climb in with his dad and watch a film. Will would sit in the garden with friends and chat about the ridiculous things they did when they were younger. These little moments meant so much."

We can’t stop time. But with your help we can ease pain, calm fears and take care of admin, so families, just like Will and Amy's, can make the most of it. Visit our website to make a donation today: https://ow.ly/IBwL50Yv7Yx

Moments of Light ✨We still can’t quite get over this special evening at Bristol Beacon. It was a heartwarming night of music, dance, laughs and light.

Our incredible host Jayde Adams guided us through the evening, which started with a beautiful rendition of 'Here Comes the Sun' from City of Bristol Choir and our very own St Peter's Hospice Choir. We were treated to incredible dance performances from both TropicanDance and AE Dance + Fitness and an emotional display from Companion Voices Bristol, who sing for people nearing the end of life. We had more music from the joyful The Ambling Band and an impromptu song from Jayde herself - who blew everyone away.

Jayde spoke to our Hospice at Home Team Leader, KC, and Ed, whose mum was supported by the Hospice, which reminded us of why the evening was so important. It was brought to a close by St Peter's Hospice Choir and City of Bristol Choir, who joined forces again to bring us the first ever performance of Lighting up Lives - a piece specially commissioned for the evening.

A huge thank you to all our performers who brought such light to the evening. Thank you also to everyone who came to watch, Bristol Beacon and Bristol Light Festival for all your support. And thank you to Ciara Hillyer Photo and Flynn Guard Photography whose photos perfectly capture the evening.

Ezra's Welsh marathon challenge 🏃

In April 2023 Ezra's mum, Lara, was diagnosed with cancer.

"She was my rock and my biggest supporter," says Ezra. As she became more ill and neared the end of her life, she was cared for at our Inpatient Unit.

"The incredible care she received was better than we could have ever hoped for."

Ezra wanted to give back to the Hospice and pay tribute to Lara, who he describes as "the most incredible person". Today, he's lacing up his running shoes and taking on Great Welsh Marathon in Pembrey Country Park, Wales.

He credits his mum's love of sport and fitness as the inspiration behind his marathon challenge and he's already raised double his £1,000 target.

"The run comes the day before the anniversary of her passing, so I am sure my emotions will be high but her presence around me and in my heart will be stronger."

Head to our story to find out more about Ezra's challenge. Fancy taking on your own? We've got running spots in Bristol, the UK and beyond. Visit https://ow.ly/jfLo50Ypx8j.

Could you volunteer to help local people caring for a loved one?

Thanks to a grant from the North Somerset Council, we’re launching a new service to reach out to those who feel most alone – offering support in their homes or in a safe space close to where they live.

We know that no one understands the challenges of caring for a loved one better than someone who’s lived it themselves. That’s why we’re looking for people with lived experience who can offer compassion, resilience and the unique insight that comes from personal experience, to help provide support to others.

If you’ve cared for a loved one and want to use that experience to support others, we’d love to hear from you.

Find out more and apply to volunteer at https://st-peters-hospice.goassemble.com/opportunities/107861-north-somerset-breathing-space-for-carers-volunteer-north-somerset-2026-02-11

Angela's dad, Ted, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2022. For the first few weeks, Angela was caring for her dad in the day, then working her day job in the night.

Ted was referred to our Hospice at Home team to help the family feel supported and to provide Ted with the specialist care he needed. For Angela and her sister Debbie, the support gave them the break they needed from their caring roles.

Sadly, Ted passed away just seven weeks after his diagnosis. Angela said: “Looking back, whilst it was such a dark time, I don’t remember the not so nice moments, it’s the special memories I think of. At the end of the day, he was warm and safe and with the people who loved him and that’s what is important. We’re just so happy we could be there for him, because he’s always been there for us. The St Peter’s team were our lifeline during this time, and they were fundamentally at the heart of us being able to keep Dad at home, where he wanted to be - we’ll forever be grateful.”

To help us to bring light not just at the end, but for the journey for more families like Angela's, visit:
