The festive season is approaching, which can be very difficult for bereaved parents and families to navigate.
It may help to talk to friends or family about how we are feeling and our wishes for this time. Having even one person we can confide in can make a real difference.

📝 Will Month is here! 💙

This October, Trinity Hospice & Palliative Care Services is giving you the opportunity to write or update your Will in return for a donation to Trinity Hospice.

Creating a Will is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your wishes are honoured, your loved ones are looked after, and — if the time feels right — to leave a lasting legacy by supporting a charity close to your heart.

The hospice are proud to be working with a number of wonderful local solicitors who are generously donating their time to support our care.

The Baton of Hope is the UK’s biggest su***de prevention initiative - travelling across the nation to spark conversations, raise awareness and bring communities together in support of mental health and su***de prevention.

This year, 100 local people will walk with courage and love as they carry the Baton during the very first leg, starting here in Blackpool, of the 2025 UK tour thanks to Samantha Southern and the incredible community coming together to let people know they are not alone. #

The journey begins at the Village Hotel on Monday 1 September at 8.30am before making its way through Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre - not just on foot, but also by car, boat, and even on horseback - finishing with a special moment on stage at The Grand Theatre.

💙 Families who have been bereaved, su***de survivors and supporters will proudly carry this specially designed symbol of hope - and you’re invited to cheer them along the way.

Today we had pleasure of welcoming the Lancashire West Trefoil Guild to Blackpool Victoria Hospital BTH Swan End of Life Bereavement Service were delighted they could host their public get together for Worldwide Knit in Public Day.

The day encourages knitters to come together, knit in public, and share their passion for the craft.

Trefoil Guild is a Guiding group for grown ups. Sue Hopcroft, Guide commented: "We have fun adventures together. We decided to take part in Knit in Public day and wanted to come to the hospital as many of us were knitting hearts and bears at home and it gives us a good excuse to get together and enjoy a knit and a natter while providing service to our community as per our Promise. "

Jackie Brunton, Lead Nurse End of Life and Bereavement Care, said: "We are delighted to host this event and thank all of our amazing community who generously give time and their gifts of hearts and bears for our bereaved loved ones, they really make a difference.

Thank you to our Marks and Spencer who kindly donated cakes and biscuit treats it was a lovely touch
