Robbie can be purchased from the Observer Buildings, any of the Hospice shops, Hospice reception and several outlets around town for just £5.00 - the cost of one minute's care at the Hospice. Keep checking back here - and look in the paper - as Robbie is set to meet some very famous people! Refurbishment Update In May 2007 we were delighted to hear that our application to the Department of Health for refurbishment funding had been successful. We were awarded an amazing sum of £423,225 to refurbish the Hospice. In addition to this funding, we also requested assistance from The Wolfson Foundation, to allow us to refit the kitchen at the same time as the refurbishment. The work has now been completed, and we are delighted with what has been achieved. We are grateful to the Department of Health, The Wolfson Foundation, and Help the Hospices who have supported this project. Our patients, families and other visitors have been thrilled by the improvements and we have received such wonderful feedback and comments.

To tie in with 25 years of fundraising for Springhill Hospice, the paper has launched an appeal to raise £25,000 to refurbish an In-Patient Bay - and all it is going to cost readers is just a fiver!
