Beep Beep 🚘 to all our Facebook followers…

We have a car in our patient car park that has been separated from its owner 😔

The car has been here since last Thursday, maybe before this.

🚗 Fiat 500, 2015, white with beads hanging from rear view mirror and L plates located in the passenger side door.
The car is clean 🧽 and very tidy, clearly very loved ❤️

If this car is yours, or you know who owns it, please could you come and collect it or give us a call and let us know when you plan to come and take it home.

Thank you ☺️

✨ Supporting Our Community ✨

Poplar Grove is a proud supporter of the local food bank. We have a donation basket 🧺 located in our reception area, and contributions are always gratefully received.

We are also excited to introduce our new “Bulb Bank Bucket”🪴 - a space for donating garden bulbs to help support our memorial garden. Cared for primarily by volunteers, the garden relies on the generosity of our community. Donations during the bulb planting season are especially appreciated, helping ensure a beautiful and peaceful space for patients to enjoy in the spring ☀️

Thank you, as always, for your continued kindness and support.
