Head of Counselling Shirley Allen As a counselling team we welcome the lovely new bereavement room which provides a safe, sensitive and comfortable space for our clients. The decoration and furnishings have been carefully planned with an area especially designed and equipped for working with bereaved children. The new room offers the opportunity for our clients to be seen in a neutral and safe place as an alternative to being seen in their own homes. A wonderful and worthwhile addition to the Bereavement Service. A special thank you very much to the February Foundation, Leyburn & Mid-Wensleydale Partnership Ltd and Lloyds Community Fund for helping to fund the Bereavement room.

From the 7th of June we will be holding a furniture and electrical sale every Saturday!

Do you need affordable furniture? Do you have any unwanted furniture and electricals?

Our Furniture Store is open every Saturday from the 7th June, 9am to 5pm.

Unit 12 Omega Business Village, Thurston Road, Northallerton, DL6 2NJ (just past Yorkshire Timber).

We collect good quality furniture and electricals free of charge and sell them at low affordable prices.

We can also deliver locally*

*Please call 01609 777413/07975 541531

On the 8th of May we held an extremely successful fundraiser at the newly opened Black Bull in Moulton. The evening was supported and sponsored by 130 local people and

business’s.

The evening started with canapés and fizz, followed by Dr Rosie Page, welcoming guests and talking about the work Herriot Hospice Homecare provides. The delicious 3 course meal was then served in the beautiful Garden Room and during coffee Jim Wight, gave a very funny after dinner speech about his memories of his father Alf Wight, who is of course the author James Herriot.

The culmination of the evening was the Auction, and due to the generosity of the donated prizes, bidders and the auctioneering talents of John Tennant, Herriot Hospice Homecare raised over £14,000, which is our most successful Auction to date.

Without the amazing support from local people,

businesses and our team of dedicated Volunteers, our

Charity would not be able to support the people who need

it most. Thank you once again to all who supported the

Black Bull Auction, it was hugely successful and we

thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Herriot Hospice T@3 is an opportunity for inviting family, friends and colleagues round for a cuppa and a chat, while still raising much needed funds for your local hospice at home.

We are asking you to hold your T@3 event during the week beginning Monday the 6th of October, which also happens to be National Hospice Week, which will give us an opportunity to

raise awareness of the fantastic work Hospice’s do, as well as finding out more about your local charity, Herriot Hospice Homecare.

You can host your T@3 anywhere, at home, school or even at work. All you have to do is

request a starter pack from us and start planning. It’s a fantastic way for having a catch up and a great reason to eat cake! Starter packs will include lots of bits and bobs to get you on your way and there will also be lots of ideas for how you can raise additional money on the day.

If you would like to support us and

host your own T@3 please call the

office on 01609 777413 or visit

www.herriothh.org.uk and if you’d

like to invite the general public to

afternoon tea, we can advertise your

venue on our website, making your

T&3 bigger and better!
