Events

Due to the easing of lockdown restrictions, we will be hosting a scaled-down Tie A Yellow Ribbon event at the hospice on Thursday 5th August. The hospice will have a stand in the car park between 11am - 4pm to allow visitors to write a message of dedication for a loved-one on a ribbon which will be left on display in the garden throughout the summer. As with previous events, our charity staff will be there to welcome all visitors and assist with writing and displaying messages. If you would like to dedicate a yellow ribbon, please visit Forest Holme at 5 Seldown Road, Poole BH15 1TS on Thursday 5th August between the hours of 11am and 4pm. The hospice will continue to maintain Covid-safe measures in line with NHS guidelines. *Please note there will be no parking available at the hospice itself.

Find us in the Eco Hub, on the first floor of The Dolphin Shopping Centre opposite Wilkos. We will be be selling a selection of festive merchandise, handcrafted items and Christmas cards with all of the money raised going towards helping to enhance the lives of patients who are facing a life-limiting illness, and their families

This Christmas Forest Holme Hospice Charity invites you to remember a loved-one by dedicating a star on our Tree of Remembrance. This year the tree will be in the Dolphin Centre outside M&S and you can visit us at our stand just next to the tree, to make your dedication.

Take part in our Pen Swap Challenge. It's simple. Sign up and start with a Forest Holme Pen. Swap your pen for a higher value item such as a box of chocolates. Swap your chocolates (example) for an even better item such as a bottle of champagne. Continue in this fashion until our challenge deadline date of Friday 29th July 2022.  Donate your final item to our fundraising office ready for auction in August. All participants will receive a certificate. There are also medals and prizes up for grabs!

Join us as our ‘Tie a Yellow Ribbon’ event returns to the garden at Forest Holme Hospice. Make a dedication in memory of a loved one or friend and each symbolic yellow ribbon will be displayed at the hospice throughout the summer featuring the name of the person being remembered and any personal message. Refreshments will be available throughout the day with live music between midday - 2pm. For those who are unable to attend but would still like to make a dedication, the staff at the hospice will happily make it in their absence. You can either do it via our own Tie A Yellow Ribbon portal here or you can download a form to return to us here.
