Knitmas tree magic in Dartmouth!🎄🧶

A massive holly-jolly thank you to the ‘close-knit group’ and the incredible community of Bayards Cove wild swimmers, friends, and family! Over the past year, they’ve crocheted over 400 granny squares, joined and edged with snowy panels, to create a striking ‘Knitmas Tree’ – a true labour of love and kaleidoscope of colour to raise vital funds for Rowcroft Hospice.

Crocheters of all ages and abilities came together, some trying crochet for the very first time, to stitch a little magic into this festive masterpiece. Together, they’ve already raised over £800 for Rowcroft – what an amazing gift to their community!🫶

Anjeli from the close-knit group says: “Please donate to the incredible Rowcroft Hospice who do such amazing work.”

You can support the hospice and this tree-mendous effort by making a donation on the close-knit group’s Just Giving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/team/dartmouth-closeknit-group-for-rowcroft-hospice

“I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Rowcroft” – Jane’s story

When 67-year-old Jane Curtis from Dartmouth was rushed to Torbay Hospital in June, she had no idea how unwell she was. Only days earlier she’d been walking along the South West Coast Path. But doctors gave devastating news – Jane had stage four breast cancer that had spread to her bones: they said she had between three hours and two weeks to live. Jane was transferred to Rowcroft Hospice’s Inpatient Unit for end-of-life care.

“I didn’t think I would ever see my home again,” says Jane. “I literally felt at death’s door.”

But surrounded by Rowcroft’s compassionate team – with pain relief, physiotherapy and holistic therapies – Jane began to turn a corner.

Jane’s improvement was so dramatic that within a few weeks she was able to return home to live independently, continuing to receive care from Rowcroft’s Community Team. “I’m feeling really well and positive,” says Jane. “It’s all because of Rowcroft’s care – no question about it. I wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for the care and support I received from Rowcroft.”

When everyday counts, being home for Christmas isn’t just a wish – it’s everything.

Colin, WOW! What an amazing event🍷✨

On Saturday 29th November, the Ilsington Village Hall was buzzing with festive cheer for one big fundraising event - A lively Wine Tasting evening organised by Colin Butler and led by wine expert Linda Simpson.

Guests sampled six wines, enjoyed games, a cheese course, and festive mince pies with the dessert wine. Thanks to donations, a raffle, and an auction, the event raised over £1,000 in support of Rowcroft Hospice

Following the huge success, Colin is already planning another Wine Tasting for Spring/Summer 2026. This is before joins to take on the ultimate challenge with Global Adventure Challenges
