A huge shout out and massive thank you to Wearside Wheels this week for supporting the hospice by carrying out some essential repairs, free of charge, to the wheels on one of our patient transport vehicles. 👏

The team worked swiftly to get the car back on the road to ensure we could continue to support our patients in attending their appointments. And we must say, our car now looks very smart 😍

We couldn't do what we do without local heroes like this team. 💙💛
