With Blue Monday behind us, we’re finding joy and comfort in our furry friends and their visits to our hospice! There’s something uplifting about a wagging tail or a gentle nuzzle. 🐶

You made the Santa Dash magical! 🎅✨

We had an amazing day at this year's Santa Dash! A huge thank you to over 500 dashers who joined us and brought the festive spirit!

It was amazing to see the park come alive with a sea of red Santas, all moving at their own pace, running, jogging, skipping, or walking. Every step you took makes a real difference to the care and support we provide to our patients and their families.

Can you spot yourself spreading some Christmas cheer?

What a special weekend at the Hospice 🌟 🌟

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended our Light up a Life services at the weekend. It was so wonderful to see our community come together to honour the memory of loved ones and celebrate their lasting impact on our lives.

The candles we lit, the names we held close and the moments of quiet togetherness made the weekend truly meaningful.

Thank you for your support which ensures St Raphael’s can continue providing compassionate care for local families, now and in the future. 💜
