5K or 10K at Aintree Racecourse today and wow… it was wet as an otter’s pocket 🌧️😂

Torrential rain couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm and dedication of the hundreds of runners who braved the elements, and powered on through the puddles 💙

Huge congratulations to every runner who showed up, pushed through, and finished strong — and an even bigger shout-out to the amazing staff and volunteers who kept spirits high and truly had a “splashing” time despite the conditions! 👏💦

What a day. What a cause. What a community. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💪

🍊💙 Celebrating the 4Elliot Campaign! 💙🍊

A huge thank you for the amazing donation of Terry's Chocolate oranges as part of the 4Elliot campaign — an incredible movement encouraging people to donate Terry’s Chocolate Oranges as a thank-you to our amazing NHS and Hospice teams.

These little gestures mean so much. They’re a reminder that every smile, every moment of care, every act of kindness from our staff never goes unnoticed. 💛

A huge thank you to everyone who donates, shares, and spreads the word. And to our dedicated NHS and Hospice heroes — this is for you. 💙🍊

Let’s keep the kindness going, one Chocolate Orange at a time.

This afternoon, the incredible volunteers of St Joseph’s Hospice came together to enjoy some well-deserved festive cheer, and what a joyful celebration it was!

Here’s to you — the heart of our hospice!

We gathered to remember those we have loved and lost and to celebrate the light they continue to bring to our lives at this festive time of year.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful singers from St Mary’s Prep School, whose voices filled the church and made the service so special.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this moving afternoon of reflection and love. ✨
