💜 "My initial reaction was ‘why would I want to go to a hospice, that’s where people go to die’, but I had it all wrong, hospices are also there for people like me who have just been diagnosed."

Penny was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer in July 2024 aged 45. A mum of two young children with a busy teaching job, Rennie Grove Peace has helped Penny emotionally cope with her diagnosis and improve her wellbeing, through regular listening and talking therapy sessions, complementary therapy, and courses where she has learnt how to live well with her illness and plan ahead.

💜 “My husband Clive was diagnosed with cancer last June. In July, we were told it was incurable and Clive would have 3-6 months to live. Our doctor put us in touch with Rennie Grove Peace."

Clive was cared for by nurse, Millesent and her Rennie Grove Peace colleagues. His wife, Elaine, continues:

"It was such a relief to be able to call at night and immediately hear a voice at the end of the phone. We knew they would be with us as soon as they could, and they always came quickly.

"You feel so alone at night, so completely on your own, and all you can do is rely on other people. Rennie Grove Peace was our rock. I don’t know how we would have coped without them."

💕 Day and night, our team is there to care for patients. But only with your help.

⛳ A massive thank you to Ash Taylor from The Business Clubhouse and everyone who helped organise the second Annual Golf Day in Memory of Mick Taylor on 4 July at Oakland Park Golf Club.

We are so grateful to Oakland Park Golf Club for being such fabulous hosts and creating the perfect setting for a day full of sunshine, golf, and generosity.

👏 Thanks to the incredible support from volunteers, players, sponsors, and supporters who raised money through taking part, sponsorship and donating generously to the refreshments golf cart, beat the pro, raffle, and auction on the day - an amazing £6,788.03 was raised for Rennie Grove Peace!

This event, held in memory of Mick Taylor, a much-loved member and three-time Men’s Captain at Oakland Park, was a true celebration of community spirit and kindness.

From all of us at Rennie Grove Peace, thank you for coming together to make this day such a huge success. We couldn’t do it without you! 💜
