JULIA’S House Devizes is opening its doors to the public once again after a year off due to the pandemic. People are encouraged to book in advance to see just how important donations are to help support the charity and the children they care for.
The free event on Tuesday 9th November will mark the first time that the charity has been able to open the hospice doors to the general public in this way since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each bookable one-hour session will include a tour of the charity’s hospice building, where you can learn more about how your support makes a difference for seriously ill children and families in Wiltshire.
Julia’s House recently launched its Together We Care Appeal to raise awareness of the respite care and support provided by the charity’s nurses and carers in the local community. The children’s hospice charity hopes that the appeal will help to raise the £1.5m needed to run the vital service each year across the county.
At next month’s Open Day event, visitors will have the chance to explore the hospice sensory room, activity room, accessible bathroom and end of life Pegasus suite. Supporters can also take a look around the vibrant hospice garden, which has been developed for play, relaxation and reflection.
Drinks and cake will be available, plus the opportunity to chat to members of the Julia’s House care and fundraising team.
Booking is essential, with one-hour tours available from 11am to 2pm. Find out more at the Julia’s House website: www.juliashouse.org/event/wiltshire-hospice-open-day
