Say it with Flowers! |
| Monday, 23 June 2008 |
 The local Sainsbury’s store in Albert Road South surprised the Peace Hospice this week by announcing that they would be donating all flowers that had reached their sell by date to them.The flowers will be used to brighten up the inside of the Hospice and patients, their relatives and staff are all set to benefit from the new floral displays.
The Hospice’s Corporate Development Manager Maggie Grand said ‘I am delighted that Sainsbury’s have decided to help us in this way. These flowers, although reaching their sell by date, will still last a considerable amount of time and will further help to brighten up our Hospice’.
‘We have a team of volunteer gardeners who work extremely hard providing us with fantastic external gardens and this regular donation by Sainsbury’s will help us to maintain a great look for anyone visiting the inside of the Hospice’.
The Peace Hospice provides specialist palliative care for people from across South West Hertfordshire with cancer or other terminal illness.
The care that the Hospice provides is holistic and looks after the whole person, and their family/carers, helping with emotional and spiritual issues as well as physical symptoms.
The Peace Hospice focuses on enabling patients to live their lives to the full and providing the best quality of life when a cure is not possible. The Hospice needs to raise £3.5 million this year and over 80% of this has to be raised through voluntary contributions. |
