Join us for our last coffee morning before Christmas ☕
Thursday 27th November, 10:30-12:30

Come for coffee and cake, meet some friendly faces, and have a chat. It's a good way to spend a Thursday morning.

While you're here, you can see the hospice and ask us anything you like about what we do. Maybe you're thinking about volunteering, or curious about our services - but honestly, just fancying a coffee and a slice of cake is reason enough to visit.

We'd be glad to see you.

Free, no booking needed. Skanda Vale Hospice, Saron, Near Llandysul, SA44 5DY.

After an insightful, deeply human workshop and talks last week from our guest: author, physician, psychotherapist and trainer Dr Kathryn Mannix, we'd recommend a short animation written and narrated by her called 'Dying for Beginners' produced by .

In it, Kathryn explains the process of 'ordinary dying' to assuage some of the concerns that so many have about what to expect at the end of a life. This is a gentle and reassuring film and one to .

At the start of Hospice Care Week we want to let you hear from Peter Jones, one of our companions about his experience of volunteering at

"It brings out the best of people; it brings out their realness. The hospice is a place of beautiful raw compassion.... a place filled with love. And it encourages you to express it - feel it, receive it. It’s not written on the walls as such, but the whole space is just infused with it. And there’s no way you can’t feel it, or leave this place feeling touched in the most beautiful way.

It's just about being present. Being there for whoever needs a bit of company, a bit of support. And that might be as simple as it sounds - making a cup of tea sitting down, listening, trying not to talk too much.
I've started to sort of take on board the fact that listening is not just listening, but it's actually trying to understand and not to even pretend that you're there to try and make anything better. You're just there for that person that's in front of you, and that's the most important thing in that moment."
