We will be hopping into 2025 with a new theme that the whole family will enjoy! Can anyone guess what it might be? 🤔

We extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible team of volunteers and wish each of them a very Merry Christmas! From receptionists to gardeners, retail volunteers to counsellors, and every role in between, these amazing individuals selflessly give their time to support the Hospice. Their dedication is the heartbeat of Butterwick Hospice, and we simply couldn’t do what we do without them. 💙 Collectively, our volunteers contribute around 30,000 hours of time each year, equivalent to more than £330,000 of paid time. If you’re inspired by their generosity, we’d love for you to join our volunteer team. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ePKzWRzb

We are extremely thankful to Wilkinsons Landscapes Ltd who have and continue to, help Butterwick Hospice in many ways. The hospice’s gardens and outdoor areas have been revitalised, as well as the delivery of a Christmas tree which is integral to our Light Up A Star campaign. After many years, of supporting the hospice we are delighted to announce they are now an official corporate partner. 💙   As well as donating a Christmas Tree from the firm’s plant centre, the largest in the North East, Wilkinsons is set to update and transform the Hospice’s outdoor spaces and garden to make them serene and an oasis of calm.   The horticultural works will be planned and developed in consultation with our hospice team, service users and their families. Simon Wilkinson, Managing Director of Wilkinsons Landscapes, said: “We are really proud to support Butterwick Hospice. Over the last few years, we have built a really good relationship and I’ve seen how much amazing work they do supporting patients and their families.   “There’s so much to be said for the mental health benefits of sitting in a lovely garden. It’s a chance to mentally step outside of whatever is going on in your life, and just having some space for yourself. We’re going to work with the hospice to enhance its outdoor spaces, creating a more inviting and serene environment for everyone who visits.”   Anne Cooling, Director of Income Generation at Butterwick Hospice said: "We’re delighted to welcome Wilkinsons Landscapes as an official corporate partner having had their support for a few years now.   “The Wilkinsons team has been generous with their time and services, including delivering a tree to be used to help raise much-needed funds and remember those who are sadly no longer with us. I’m really looking forward to working with Simon and everyone else to create a garden that will help spirits and unwind.” Simon Wilkinson Edward Gorringe Anne Cooling Katie Sadler Amanda Baker
