We were so glad to welcome the St Alban's Catholic Primary School choir into the hospice for their final visit of the academic year!

They sang some summery songs to our We Care group, as well as to our patients, families and friends on the ward. The rain might have been pouring outside but they definitely spread sunshine around the hospice ☀️💚

A big well done as always to all the amazing pupils and staff for practicing these songs for us, we can't wait to welcome you again after the summer!
