Wonderful to be guests at the official launch party for the Royal Windsor Flower Show last night. Community sits at the heart of both our organisations. A truly inspiring evening and we cannot wait to unveil a very special 🐘 with them for our TrunksAcrossTheThames art trail coming this summer.

Nicki’s story beautifully shows the lasting difference hospice care can make for families. 💚

We were honoured to give her dad, Gordon, the dignity and support he wished for in his final days.
Now, by choosing to leave a gift in her Will, Nicki is helping ensure that other families can experience the same compassionate care in the future.

Our Children & Families Team runs regular events for the families we support, where a primary parent or guardian is being supported by Thames Hospice. 💚

These sessions create a safe, welcoming space for individuals to make new friends, enjoy fun activities, and feel supported to share their fears and feelings with others who truly understand.

At our recent event, one parent shared how their partner’s ongoing chemotherapy has made accessing school holiday activities incredibly difficult, with reduced income, rising costs, and the need to stay close to essential medical services. Moments like these remind us just how important these opportunities are.

A huge thank you to Jess from Brambles Animal Encounters for bringing such joy to the day! The children had an amazing time meeting all the animals!

This is Hospice Care. 💚

When Duncan arrived at the Hospice, he was unable to walk or eat.

Through the care of our clinical and physiotherapy teams, Duncan was able to return home to his family for several months. For his son, Sam, it was a transformation he’ll never forget: 'Seeing him gradually coming back to being dad again... to have that time with him meant everything.'

Hospice care isn’t just about the end of life - it’s about giving people the strength to live as well as possible.

By leaving a gift in your Will, you are gifting families more time, more memories, and more moments together - www.thameshospice.org.uk/gift-in-will/

Dignity in Action Month 💙

This February at Thames Hospice, our colleagues, patients and families are adding their own “Dignity in Action” decorations to our tree, sharing what dignity truly means to them.

Each message reflects personal experiences, values and moments of care that matter most. Together, they are creating a powerful reminder that dignity isn’t just a word: it’s something felt, shared and experienced every day.

A huge thank you to our incredible staff and volunteers who continue to support patients and families with compassion and kindness.

Hospice care is everything you expect… and so much you might not. 💚

It can be endings and uncertainty, moments of courage and floods of tears. It’s short days, long nights, and learning to live for today while carrying the weight of tomorrow.

But it’s also love, laughter, and celebration. It’s breaking with convention, going the extra mile, and focusing on what truly matters – creating hope and treasured memories - just like Duncan and his friends and family did (pictured). 📸✨

But our hospice care is only possible because of you. Did you know that 1 in 5 of our inpatient beds are funded by Gifts in Wills?
