We invite you to take part in this year’s Summer Memories Appeal, a meaningful opportunity to honour those who remain forever in our hearts.
Our Summer Memories gathering will take place in the hospice’s beautiful gardens on Saturday 27th June at 12 noon. Together, we will pause for reflective readings, gentle music and shared moments of remembrance as we celebrate the lives of those we love.
This year, Summer Memories is inspired by rainbows, a symbol of hope, healing, and the ongoing connection we hold with those we’ve lost. Rainbows are a gentle reminder that brighter moments follow even the most difficult times, and many people see them as a comforting sign that the love of those we’ve lost remains close. Even though they are no longer with us, the bond we share continues to guide and comfort us.
In honour of this theme and of our loved ones, everyone who makes a donation in memory of someone special will receive a rainbow themed keepsake which creates a rainbow effect when light shines on it. Alongside your keepsake, a rainbow tribute will be displayed within the hospice’s Memory Garden as part of a shared
act of remembrance. If you can join us on the day, you will be invited to personalise your rainbow with a name or message. If you cannot attend, a member of our team will write a dedication on your behalf, ensuring that your dedications are is included in the display. This tribute will remain in the Memory Garden throughout the summer months, and you are welcome to visit from 9am to 9pm daily; we hope that it offers you a peaceful space to reflect.
Should you wish to make a donation to Summer Memories but prefer not to receive a keepsake pack, you can let us know on the form below. You will still receive a personalised thank you card, and their name will still be included in the rainbow tribute.
