One of my favourite fundraising events… our “Men’s Walk to Support”… an opportunity for men (500+ today) to come together in support of the hospice but with an emphasis on creating opportunities to talk about friends, family and loved ones who have died!

It’s been a busy week with radio interviews, presentations to our amazing supporters & donors and the usual busyness of the day job BUT a real treat to end the week with a Zip Wire, 150ft up in front of Bath’s Royal Crescent! It’s there all weekend if you’re in Bath!

Everyone talks about seagulls invading our cities and moving inland… I haven’t heard how ducks are quietly making their move to the coast!

This may surprise you…one of the many joys of working at a hospice is the contagious laughter…

It’s been a very busy month & a lot of time given over to discussions & planning for next year against a challenging financial outlook for all hospices!

Huge thanks to @tobyhporter.bsky.social, @hospiceuk.bsky.social and @wesstreeting.bsky.social for making next year feel a lot more optimistic!

Two of our fabulous volunteers on the Dorothy House Hospice “Ubiety” #BathChristmasMarket stall today.

Until we get more than 20% of our funding from NHSE, we continue to find innovative ways to fund our specialist end of life care because our communities need us now more than ever!
