We are incredibly grateful to Erin and Acer, who have raised over £830 by hosting a fundraising event at their primary school in support of Blythe House Hospice.💙

This wonderful effort was inspired by their own experience of care at the hospice, following the sudden and unexpected death of their beloved dad, Paul, from heart failure in December 2024. Erin and Acer received counselling and play therapy with us, helping them through an incredibly difficult time.

Sophie Wheeldon, our Senior Community Fundraiser, said: 'To see Erin and Acer now leading such a thoughtful and generous fundraiser is truly special. On behalf of all of us at Blythe House Hospice, and the families we support, thank you for making such a meaningful difference. Your fundraising will help ensure other children and families can access the same vital care and support when they need it most.' ✨

New Mills and District Railway Modellers are full steam ahead for hospice care 🚂

Over the past year alone, the group has raised more than £12,000 for Blythe House Hospice! Tony Barratt, pictured here alongside our trustee Ruth Brown, raises funds by selling donated model railway items and layouts at exhibitions, club meetings and online.

The group's support spans an incredible 25 years, with over £120,000 raised since 2001. Truly outstanding! It takes around £2.6 million each year to provide our services. For 7 in every 10 people we care for, that support is made possible by our community, through donations, our shops, fundraising events, and gifts in Wills.

If your local community group would like to fundraise for Blythe House Hospice through your activities or events, we'd love to support you. Drop us a message, or email: fundraising@blythehouse.co.uk 💙

Our next Carers Drop In event is set to take place from 1.30 to 3.30pm on Monday 11th May, and we’re pleased to be hosting free blood pressure checks.

This informal event is a chance for anyone caring for someone who needs extra support due to their health, to come along for a cuppa, a chat and some friendly support.💙

Know Your Numbers Week is a national campaign that raises awareness of high blood pressure. As part of the week, the NHS Healthy Lifestyles service will be offering free blood pressure checks, alongside Derbyshire Carers Association. There’ll also be an opportunity to find out more about Live Life Better Derbyshire's free support services.

There’s no need to book, just drop in! If you need help arranging care so that you can attend, please don’t hesitate to call us on: 01298 875 080.

We’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to long-standing supporter Buxton Woodworks; Simon Morris Plumbing and Heating, and skilled joiner, Jack Gregory, for their incredible support in supplying and fitting a brand new kitchen worktop in our Community Hub kitchen, completely free of charge.💙

This space is used every day to prepare drinks and refreshments for our patient groups, helping to create a warm, welcoming environment where people can feel comfortable and at ease.

Thanks to their kindness and generosity, the kitchen is now even better equipped to support those who rely on our services.

If you're a local business or tradesperson who might be able to lend us a hand with gifts in kind like this, we'd be so grateful to hear from you. Please message us on Facebook, or email: fundraising@blythehouse.co.uk

Sip, chat and help support hospice care – with a special focus.🍰

Join us from 10am to 12pm on Friday 1st May for our monthly Coffee Morning.

Alongside a slice of cake and a cuppa with great company, this special session will centre around the theme of the ‘Elephant in the Room' - our beautifully crafted chicken wire elephant, kindly made by our talented volunteers. We invite you to leave a message on a luggage tag, whether that’s a thought, a memory, or something you’d like to say, helping us to open up conversations around death, dying and grief in a meaningful way.

If you wish to, you'll be warmly welcome to take part in gentle, open conversations supported by our spiritual care volunteers.

As always, your support helps us raise vital funds for hospice care in our local community. Cake donations are always welcome, whether you bake or buy – please drop them into our hospice reception from 9am to 5pm on Thursday 30th April, or on the morning of the event.

We look forward to seeing you there. 💙

This week is Heart Failure Awareness Week.💙

Blythe House provides a safe and welcoming space for patients with life-limiting illnesses to receive medical care, support and advice closer to home – including people with heart failure.

Debbie Sutherland, heart failure specialist nurse from Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust has hosted a heart failure clinic here at the hospice for almost 18 years!

Patients with heart failure also benefit from attending other groups and sessions here at the hospice, including the Fatigue, Anxiety and Breathlessness (FAB) course, where our expert nurses, physiotherapist and occupational therapist share advice and tips on ways to control and manage these worrying symptoms.

If you’re living with a life-limiting illness or know someone who could access support here at Blythe House, click the ‘Our services’ tab via the link in our bio, or call: 01298 875 080.

Say hello to Salli (second from the left) 💙

Salli ran the Blythe House Hospice Chatsworth 10k last year in memory of her beloved Pops, Bill.

Salli’s miles helped fund the hospice care that made Bill’s final days peaceful in the comfort of his home, and supported their family every step of the way.

This year, you can make a difference too. Sign up to take part on Sunday 13th September, fundraise, and run for local families who need our care: https://blythehousehospice.org.uk/chatsworth-10k/
