Members of the public joined Hospice in a full programme that culminated in the switching on of the tree lights – each globe representing a lost loved one.

The remembrance ceremony also paid tribute to the wonderful work done by Hospice caregivers, with patients’ stories and inspirational messages being shared.

A special ‘Hospice song’ was rendered by local songbird Michelle Jooste and thanks to sponsors, MC Keith Eaton, sound man Stephen Roux and participants, the message of hope, encouragement and grief-sharing support was well presented and gratefully received.
