Hampton Grange and Gwen Walford Care Homes proudly took part in a Memory Walk to honour the cherished memories of past residents Joe and Tom while raising vital funds for St Michael’s Hospice in Hereford. The event, held at the picturesque Queenswood Arboretum in Leominster, brought together staff, residents, friends, and families in a celebration of life and community.
Under the bright and encouraging sunshine, participants embarked on their walk, their spirits lifted by the beautiful weather and the shared purpose of supporting a worthy cause. The collective effort resulted in an impressive fundraising total of over £400, a testament to the dedication and generosity of everyone involved.
Trish McCaffrey, Home Manager, expressed her heartfelt gratitude and admiration for everyone’s support, saying, “We are incredibly proud of our residents, staff, and all the friends and families who joined us for the Memory Walk. Joe and Tom were very dear to us, and it was heartwarming to see everyone come together to honour their memory in such a meaningful way. Raising over £400 for St Michael’s Hospice is a tremendous achievement, and we are delighted to contribute to their invaluable work.”
The Memory Walk not only served as a poignant tribute to Joe and Tom but also highlighted the strong community spirit and the importance of supporting local charities like St Michael’s Hospice, which provides essential care and support to those in need.
As the walkers concluded their journey through the arboretum, the sense of accomplishment and unity was palpable. Hampton Grange and Gwen Walford Care Home look forward to continuing their support for St Michael’s Hospice and other local initiatives, reinforcing their commitment to making a positive impact in the Hereford community.
