Today marks the beginning of Willow Week This week is Willow Week, our annual week where we take the time to shine a light on hospice care in Derwentside and to celebrate our community and the support it gives to people in life’s most challenging moments.
This special week runs alongside Dying Matters Week, Advance Care Plan Day, and leads us toward International Nurses Day – all of which are key here at Willow Burn Hospice.
To open Willow Week, we’re honoured to share Eddy's powerful Willow Burn story through the eyes of those who knew him best. Dawn Thompson and Mandy Turnbull tell the story of their hero with honesty, love, strength and laughter
Their tribute to their dad and grandad is a reminder of why hospice care matters and why your support is so important.
Join us all week as we celebrate life, care, and the people who make Willow Burn what it is.
