From inside the community St Helena Hospice Open your garden for St Helena Hospice From May to September, St Helena Hospice is looking for keen gardeners who want to show off their hard work to open their garden to the community and raise money to help support local people facing incurable illness and bereavement. Share your beautiful garden and join our other green-fingered supporters in raising funds for the hospice by hosting bake sales, plant sales, raffles, or maybe even a garden party for the Queen’s Jubilee! The fundraising team at the hospice can support you by providing you with helpful hints and tips to get you started and some handy materials to support you with your open garden, including poster templates, cake toppers and balloons. To find out how to get started and host your own open garden, visit ST HELENA HOSPICE OPEN GARDENS or contact our fundraising team on 01206 931468 or EMAIL HERE Make your Will this June and support your local hospice This June, St Helena Hospice’s Wills Month returns, giving local people the opportunity to make or amend their Will whilst supporting the hospice. Three local solicitors have waived their usual fees and will write or amend individual or mirror Wills in return for a suggested donation to St Helena Hospice. Rachel Joy, St Helena Hospice fundraiser, said: “Having a Will is really important, whatever your age or circumstances, yet more than 50% of British people do not have a valid Will. If you haven’t made your Will yet, or need to update it, June is the perfect time to do so. “We are hugely grateful to Birkett Long, John Fowlers Solicitors, and Fisher Jones Greenwood, our participating solicitors. Thanks to them, all the money raised from Wills Month will go towards ensuring more local people receive the comfort, dignity and compassion they deserve, right to the end of life. 29
