This week is National Grief Awareness Week 2024, organised by The Good Grief Trust. Visit their website to find some great resources for supporting those who are grieving: https://lnkd.in/entCVFS4 Today, we wanted to share Kelly and Gary's experience of how important the counselling at East Anglia's Children's Hospices - EACH was when their daughter, Annabel, passed away at The Nook. Kelly said, "After we left the Hospice, we started weekly one-to-one counselling sessions with Amy. These sessions helped us so much – they took us through our feelings and showed us it was ok to feel those things. The difference these sessions have made is huge to us. EACH are such an amazing support for families when a child is still alive, but even after a child has passed, they are still there – for as long as you need them for." Gary added, "Going to The Nook for those two days probably saved my life. I probably wouldn't still be here, but because I had that immediate counselling from Amy, it saved me. I really didn't want to go home after Annabel passed. Because we left for the hospital in such a rush, everything was just left – her bed was literally as we'd left it, and I didn't know how I would cope with that." ⁣ Additional income could mean your hospice could support more families going through the most challenging of times.

Eleanor (right) has been playing the Local Hospice Lottery for six years and was surprised and overjoyed to have recently won £2,000 by supporting Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS)! 🥰 She said: “I was delighted when I got the call to say I had won as I have never really won anything before. I have a good friend whose son suffered from Muscular Dystrophy and sadly died young. Even though they didn’t use CHAS personally I know the charity does so much good work in helping children and families who have similar circumstances which is why I am proud to play the Local Hospice Lottery in support of CHAS." Danielle, the Fundraising Campaigns Co-ordinator at CHAS presented the cheque to Eleanor at Robin House, and said: “I am delighted that Eleanor has won this amazing sum of money from the Local Hospice Lottery. Supporters like Eleanor who play the Lottery in support of CHAS make a real difference to local families in need of our help as the Lottery provides a regular income for the charity so it really is win-win!” Is your hospice looking for a way to encourage more community support?

Lucky Meghan (left) from Hackney was overjoyed when she won £2,000 through playing to the Local Hospice Lottery in support of St Joseph's Hospice! 🥳 Meghan said: "I pretty much live next door to St Joseph's Hospice; it is a part of our community and our life. My children actually went to the nursery right by the Hospice, and a special moment was when the nursery children used to come into the Hospice for lunch. It's always been close to our hearts and home." 🏡 When asked how she felt about her win, Meghan said: "I felt surprised, shocked and it was unexpected. But it reminded me of something you can do without even thinking. I play the Local Hospice Lottery and Sponsor a Nurse – I've been doing it for years. It reminds me of what this is about and how important it is – it struck a chord for me in terms of the value. Obviously, it's lovely to receive this, but you also get reminded of the work done and how special and important it is for the community." 🫶 Our weekly draws are a fun way for communities to support their local hospice, while being in with a chance to win great cash prizes, for only £1 per chance!
