The Sunflower – Spring 2026 edition
In this edition of The Sunflower, you will hear from Alison about how a cuddle bed brought comfort to her and her husband, Rob, in his final days on our In-Patient Unit. Plus, find out how you can help us buy two more cuddle beds this spring. You’ll also hear from our hospice gardeners about the importance of connecting to nature and discover fun ways to support the hospice this spring and summer.
Every donation, every message of support, every item donated to our charity shops, every hour spent volunteering with us makes a real difference to those affected by a life-limiting illness in Somerset. Thank you so much for your support.
