Community comes together to remember loved ones

Monday 22nd Jun 2026

The Mayor of Poole was amongst hundreds of people who gathered in Poole Park to honour the memory of loved ones at Forest Holme Hospice’s annual Tie A Yellow Ribbon event.

Once again kindly sponsored by MSP Capital, this free community event invited individuals and families to write a dedication on a yellow ribbon creating a moving display of love, loss, and unity. These ribbons will now be placed in the hospice garden, remaining there as a tribute throughout the summer months.

Tie A Yellow Ribbon is open to everyone, not just those with a connection to Forest Holme and included a host of local craft stalls, refreshments, free children’s activities, and special choir performances helping to create a truly uplifting and inclusive atmosphere.
