Happy International Women’s Day💙

At the heart of Blythe House Hospice, are women whose empathy and leadership bring comfort, dignity and reassurance when it’s needed most; in our teams, among our volunteers and supporters, and the patients and families we care for.

This year’s theme, ‘Give to Gain’ reminds us that when we give time, care or support, we create opportunities for women to thrive, and in doing so, we strengthen our whole community.✨

As Mother’s Day approaches, we warmly invite you to share a memory or photo of your mum, or someone special, on our online Tribute Page.🩷

We understand that the days leading up to Mother’s Day, and the day itself, can feel incredibly difficult when you’re missing someone you love.

We hope you may find comfort in making a dedication, sharing photos and memories, and celebrating their life.

Did you know you can also create your own personalised Tribute Page in memory of a loved one? It offers a special online space where family and friends can share memories and photographs, leave messages, light a virtual candle, and make donations in their memory.

After the death of their dear mum, Lavinia, in 2024, sisters Helen and Julie created a Tribute Page. Helen shared: ‘It’s somewhere we can return to whenever we want to read through the memories and recollections. We’ve also been able to use the page to fundraise for Blythe House, which has been so meaningful. It’s a really special place that will always be there for us to come back to and remember Mum.’

We want to say a big thank you to Donate-A-Light CIC for donating 78 LED lighting products worth over £2,100 to Blythe House, to help us upgrade lighting across several areas of the hospice building. 💡

It’s estimated that this very kind gift will help us to save…
🔵 384 kgCO₂e of embodied carbon (≈ the annual carbon capture of 17 mature trees)
🔵Over £1,000 per year in energy cost savings (based on typical 8-hour daily use)
🔵One ton of CO₂e avoided per year from reduced energy consumption

Donate-A-Light re-purpose unused surplus LED lighting from manufacturers to provide sustainable, energy-efficient lighting solutions for charities and other non-profit organisations. Their mission is to reduce energy costs, improve lighting quality, and enhance safety, while reducing environmental waste.

We’re delighted to announce the return of two much-loved creative fundraising events - perfect for anyone who loves getting stuck into something artistic while supporting local hospice care.💙

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or simply fancy trying something new, our Felt & Fizz needle felting workshop with Feltin2it needle felt paint with wool artist offers a relaxed, hands-on evening where you can learn a new skill, enjoy a glass of fizz and create a beautiful spring scene to take home. It’s taking place from 6 to 9pm on Friday 17th April.

Or, if painting is more your style, join us for a Paint & Sip workshop with Bessie Grace Creates at The Cow Shed Cafe – a fun, step-by-step session where you can unwind with a drink, pick up a brush and let your creativity flow as Beth guides you through painting a highland cow. This is taking place from 2 to 4pm on Saturday 16th May.

Both events are a wonderful way to spend time with friends, meet like-minded people and raise vital funds for Blythe House Hospice.

Spaces are very limited, so register today and join us for creativity, laughter and making a real difference in our community:

Our Wellbeing Wednesday group gives local patients who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness the opportunity to learn from and chat to our expert team, and meet likeminded people. 💙

The sessions cover a different topic each week, with subjects including:
🔵I am more than my illness
🔵I wish I could sleep
🔵Coping with the uncertainty
🔵Mind, body and spirit: What do we mean by spirituality?
🔵Fatigue management
🔵Conversations I wish I could have

One of our patients recently said: ‘The Wellbeing Wednesday group is filled with loads of useful information and coping strategies. Also being with other people on this course, it made it a relaxing and unpressured experience. I would highly recommend.’

March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. 💙

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men globally and for many people, diagnosis can feel confusing, overwhelming and isolating.

That’s why friendly, local support is so important. Here at Blythe House Hospice, we support people living with prostate cancer, as well as their partners and loved ones, helping to navigate the emotional, physical and practical challenges that come with a diagnosis.

Our Prostate Cancer Support Group offers a welcoming space to talk openly, hear from specialist staff and guest speakers, and connect with others who understand what you’re going through.

The group takes place from 5 to 7pm on the last Tuesday of every month at Blythe House Hospice. Please come along, you can be sure of a warm welcome! For more information, call our team on: 01298 875 080. 👈️
