🧡 A massive thank you to some of our incredible fundraisers and supporters who’ve gone the extra mile for Rotherham Hospice:

🍷 Lisa Oakes raised an amazing £1,740 at her June wine tasting event and raffle

🏊‍♂️ The Iron Pigs (a team of teachers from Worksop College) took on a triathlon challenge and raised £873 for our care.

🏥 Welcome Break awarded us a generous £7,017 grant, funding a brand new HoverJack to help us safely and comfortably support patients.

⛳ And the Paul Milton Golf Day at Phoenix Golf Club, held in memory of Glinys, raised a fantastic £3,810

Every penny raised helps us add more life to every day for people living with a terminal illness and we couldn’t do it without you. 🙏

900 feathers. Crafted, packed, and ready to go. 🪶

Our MTL Advanced apprentices have been working hard behind the scenes — shaping each steel feather, engraving each tag, and preparing them for something truly special.

Now, they’re on their way to Wentworth Woodhouse to be installed in our Meadow of Memories.

Huge thanks to our event sponsor Aesseal and our amazing partners MTL Advanced and Wentworth Woodhouse, with support from Pryor Marking Technology — we couldn’t do this without you. 🧡

🕊️ You can still make your dedication:

Please note: dedications made from today onwards will be added to the installation on Thursday 14th August.

We’ve secured the timber... Can you help us cover the cost? 🌿

Thanks to a generous discount and £500 donation from Jewson Tool Hire in Sheffield, we now have the timber we need to start building a new, accessible garden at Rotherham Hospice.

Now we’re asking for your help to cover the cost of those materials. Every donation will help turn this underused area into somewhere calm, comforting and full of life. 🧡

Big thanks to Pryor Marking Technology! 🛠️

Every single tag in our Feather Appeal is engraved with care — and that’s all thanks to the brilliant team at Pryor.

They’re helping us turn your words and names into lasting tributes, one tag at a time.

Your dedications mean the world. Thanks to Pryor, they’ll be remembered in steel. 🧡

Help us turn this patch of land into something beautiful. 🌿

Thanks to a generous donation from Jewson Tool Hire in Sheffield, the digger has arrived, and work is underway to transform an unused part of our garden into a peaceful, accessible space for patients, loved ones, and the children we support through Sunbeams.

But to keep going, we urgently need timber materials. Can you or someone you know help us with:

🪵 4x4 treated fence posts
🪵 6x2 treated joists
🪵 Treated decking boards (or similar)

Whether it’s a donation or a discounted supply, every single contribution helps build something truly meaningful.

🎙️ New Episode Out Now – Care Across Cultures. This week, we’re joined by Jodie Beck from Hospice UK for a bold and wide-ranging conversation about the future of end of life care.

From the new NHS plan to the difficult questions around assisted dying, we explore what equity really means in practice and why the £200 million hospice funding gap can no longer be ignored.

With 100,000+ people dying every year without the care they need, this episode centres real people, real families, and the hard choices they face.

🧡 We also share our vision at Rotherham Hospice: to grow our services, reach more people, and help shape a system that truly works for everyone.
