Celebrating Complementary Therapy Week at Rowcroft 💜🌿

This week we’re shining a light on the amazing therapists who bring calm and relaxation to our patients and their families. From soothing massage to gentle reiki, aromatherapy, and reflexology, their compassionate care helps reduce stress and offer moments of comfort.

“Our focus is always on the patient and understanding what they want from the therapy,” says Complementary Therapy Team Leader, Liz Haddon. “Each session is about creating moments of calm and balance.”

Our volunteer therapists, like Anna Berkley, make this possible. Anna shares, “It’s a privilege to support, comfort and bring moments of enjoyment to people near the end of their life, and to their families. It opens my heart to feel part of the Rowcroft team, and I am touched by my experiences here.”

Every therapy session and moment of calm makes a difference 💙 Discover more about our complementary therapy services and hear from our team of therapists in our latest blog: https://rowcrofthospice.org.uk/blog/celebrating-the-team-behind-rowcrofts-complementary-therapies/

Dementia is the UK’s leading cause of death effecting thousands of families across the UK.

For many people, dementia is experienced alongside complex health needs and the challenges of end-of-life care. That is why conversations like today’s matter.

At the UK Dementia and Palliative Care Conference, experts are sharing the latest research, lived experiences and practical approaches to improve care and support for patients and families.

Because better understanding leads to better care.

24/03/2026

Good morning from the Conference Centre at Buckfast Abbey.

A huge thank you to Rapid Relief Team UK for their fantastic support at The Big Tackle this year.

Their 17 volunteers gave 145 hours of their time at Meadfoot, hosting the BBQ and serving 800 to 1,000 meals and refreshments to walkers and supporters throughout the day.

Thanks to their generosity, an amazing £3,357.80 was raised and donated to Rowcroft Hospice to support patients and families across South Devon.

As Mike Besley from Rapid Relief Team UK shared:

“It was a wonderful atmosphere and inspiring to see so many people coming together to support Rowcroft and the important work the hospice does across the community.”

Thank you to the Rapid Relief Team and everyone who stopped by the BBQ. 💛
