A huge and heartfelt thank you to the brilliant students at Chapel en le Frith High School who have lovingly hand-drawn and written Christmas cards for our incredible volunteers.💙

The cards were shared at our Volunteer Christmas Gathering on Friday and will continue to be delivered in the run-up to Christmas.

As part of the Young Volunteers Programme, we’ve been working closely with Chapel High School to help young people learn more about hospice care and the remarkable difference our volunteers make. Pupils have been truly inspired, and created these thoughtful cards to show their appreciation and send warm festive wishes.

Stephanie, one of our volunteers, said: ‘The cards we received from the school children were emotional and amazing.’

A ‘Claus’ for celebration – we’re delighted to announce that yesterday’s Jingle Bell Jog was a RECORD BREAKER – raising over £19,700 for local hospice care! 🧑‍🎄❄️🎄❤️

The eighth annual event took place at the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton yesterday (Sunday 7th December) and was a record-breaker for both its fundraising total and participant numbers.

The cold temperature and rain certainly didn’t stop play as 110 children took on the 700m Fun Run, before more than 495 Santas crossed the 5k finish line.

Rachael Gee, Fundraising and Events Co-ordinator at Blythe House Hospice, said: ‘The Jingle Bell Jog really does signify the start of Christmas for many people, and it was such a wonderful, festive morning from start to finish. Seeing so many people come together - our fantastic participants, their friends and families cheering them on, our generous event sponsors and those who kindly donated gifts in kind, along with our incredible volunteers - made the event truly special. We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make it such a tremendous success.’

Next year’s Jingle Bell Jog is set to take place on Sunday 6th December 2026. Super early bird registration is open now until Sunday 21st December 2025 for just £12: www.jinglebelljog.org.uk

To finish our series of Wills Month thank yous, we’re celebrating Best Solicitors who raised £753 through their September Wills Month in support of Blythe House Hospice. 💙

We’re so thankful to Best Solicitors, and to all the local firms who generously give their time and expertise throughout the year to help fund local hospice care. Only 28% of our running costs come from the NHS. Kindness like this makes every home visit, every conversation, every moment of hospice care possible.

By taking part in a Wills Month, you can have your Will written or updated free of charge — and in return, you’re invited to make a donation to support local people and families affected by life-limiting illness.

We'll update our page when we have confirmed dates for 2026 Wills Months, so keep your eyes peeled to get your appointment booked!

Our incredible volunteers and shop teams play a vital role in supporting hospice care at home. Every pound raised and every hour given help us care for our patients where it matters most – in the comfort of their own homes.💙

Maria (left in the photo) and Andrea (right) know first-hand the difference this support can make. They became both volunteers and friends in June 2025, when they began helping in our Matlock shop following the deaths of their beloved husbands, Alan and Peter, earlier in the year.

Both couples had been cared for by the hospice’s Roaming Car team, allowing Alan and Peter to spend their final days in the familiar surroundings of home.

Maria and Andrea didn’t know each other before their volunteering roles, but as Andrea said: ‘It’s like fate brought us together.’

Andrea explained: ‘It was so reassuring for me to know that someone was available to come and support Peter and I during the night. The nurses were absolutely amazing, providing the support we genuinely needed. They gave Peter injections for pain management and made him comfortable. One of the nurses was also able to prepare me for his passing as she told me how poorly he was, and I was able to say goodbye to him properly. When Peter died, they came back to certify his death and did it with such dignity and respect. The Roaming Car nurses ensured Peter was able to die at home as he so wished; and that I felt fully supported to care for him and make sure that happened.'

Maria added: ‘I started volunteering at the shop to give me a purpose following Alan’s death. We’d been together for such a long time, it’s very hard to adjust to life without him, but coming to the shop has really helped me and it does take my mind off things. Andrea and I are so grateful to Sue [shop manager] for putting us together on a shift and we have become very good friends – we are able to talk honestly to each other and understand how each other is feeling. We’re always happy to pick up extra shifts if we can too, to support the shop on days it would otherwise have to close.’

This evening we’re saying a huge thank you to BRM Solicitors who raised an incredible £7,400 through their July Wills Month in support of Blythe House Hospice.💙
