"I know from experience that it can be difficult for men to open up. Men don’t talk enough about their feelings but it’s really important that they do."
"There’s no one else who could have given me and my family the time, support and care they’ve provided."
"St Margaret’s really helped put us back together. It’s like they put their arms around you and wrap you up in a blanket."
"They treated Kayleigh with such dignity throughout her illness and carried this through to her death."
"Volunteering at the shop makes me feel proud and good about myself as it feels great to give back to the hospice when they’ve done so much for my family."
"She got to concentrate on the good things, having fun, seeing family while the team at the hospice helped with medication, comfort and held our hands."
"Tim was so funny, energetic, encouraging, loving and warm. He stood out from everyone else, and he was loved by his local community. Even the small things that Tim did for people had a big impact."
"If I need anything at home, they’re there – whether that’s someone at the end of their adviceline to get help from, or a nurse to pop over to check I’m OK – nothing is ever too much."
