Today we’re celebrating 44 years of Rowcroft 💙

For over four decades, we’ve been here for our community, providing compassionate care and support when it matters most.

None of this would be possible without our incredible staff, volunteers, supporters, trustees and everyone who has been part of our journey. Thank you for helping us make a difference every single day.

Here’s to 44 years of care, and many more to come.

Ahoy Brixham! ⚓️

The Brixham Pirate Festival is in full swing, and the town is buzzing with sea shanties, costumes and plenty of pirate spirit.

If you’re heading there, keep an eye out for our Rowcroft shops while you’re exploring. You never know what treasure you might find, and every purchase helps support our care across South Devon.

Whether you’re dressed as a pirate or just soaking up the atmosphere, we hope you have a brilliant time.

Enjoy the festivities, stay safe, and if you spot us while you’re out and about, come and say hello 🏴‍☠️

In 2024, Craig spent his final two weeks at Rowcroft, surrounded by love, and care 💜

Inspired by the support and comfort Rowcroft provided, Sarah has chosen to dedicate a flower in Craig’s memory to help ensure others receive the same compassionate care her family experienced.

“I will never forget walking into the hospice for the first time. The sun was shining… it was like walking on air and the weight lifted off our shoulders. We could breathe again. We were able to be by Craig’s side with family and friends, sharing laughter and tears.”

“I can always feel Craig at Rowcroft when I go to the gardens. That’s why I will be dedicating a flower, so his memory will always bloom there. I hope you’ll join me in making a dedication for someone special at this year’s Meadow of Memories.”

Huge congratulations to Rowcroft Healthcare Assistant Heidi Treleaven, who completed an incredible 268-mile ultramarathon - running the entire length of Wales and arriving at her final destination, Barry Island, on Sunday!

Taking “going the extra mile” to a whole new level, Heidi ran six back-to-back ultramarathons over six days to raise funds for Rowcroft, inspired by the care her own family received from the hospice.

“I’d like to say a massive thank you to my amazing my work colleagues and family who were brilliant at keeping me going throughout with such positive messages and supportive encouragement!” says Heidi. “They were truly fantastic!”

We are unbelievably proud of Heidi. Her determination, resilience and huge heart truly capture the spirit of Rowcroft and the dedication our teams bring to patients and families every day. What an extraordinary achievement! 👏

Heidi’s fundraising page is still open if you’d like to show your support: www.justgiving.com/page/heidi-treleaven-3 or if you fancy a challenge of your own, we have some ideas for you here: https://rowcrofthospice.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising/challenges/
