Remembrance Tree 2016

A memory tree once again has been errected in our office, members of the public are invited to place a personal remembrance star on the tree to fondly think of lost loved ones.
This Years collection is in aid of St. Margaret's Somerset Hospice.
St. Margaret’s Hospice has been at the heart of Somerset’s community
for over 35 years, delivering high quality, responsive and compassionate care to patients and their families facing a life-limiting illness.
Through their medical expertise, nursing skill and specialist support services, they provide physical, emotional and spiritual care to
their patients, their families, carers and friends.
The Hospice is dedicated to making each day count for all their patients and their families.

So please visit the office to place a star on the tree to remember the loved ones that are no longer with us, and if you can, please make a donation,
however small it may be.
