Share your story

Many Forest Holme supporters have been keen to share their own personal stories to help the Charity raise both awareness and vital funds for the hospice in newsletters, on our website, social media and across various literature.

They are able tell our story better than anyone else – because they allow us to step into the shoes of someone who has experienced first-hand the care, support and compassion that our staff and volunteers work so hard to deliver every day.

You can read some of our recent stories below and if you would like to share your story with us, please get in touch using the Contact Form.
