Magic Garden Returns

This month was the long awaited return of the magnificent 'Magic Garden' at Caerleon Memorial Garden. Wonderful exhibitions bought colour and fun alongside a huge teddy tombola and stall filled with handmade delights. 

A tremendous thank you and well done to Prosecco and Purls, Caerleon Support Group and Caerleon Secret Crafters for your hugely valued support and dedication in putting this magical event together. We are so proud to share the Magic Garden raised over £2,200 for St David's Hospice Care and we couldn't be more grateful

Thank you to all who visited and again to our dedicated volunteers who are at the heart of this brilliant community event. You are Hospice Heroes and hugely appreciated.

Petals of Remembrance

On Sunday 21st September we held our inaugural Event of Remembrance for 'Petals of Remembrance'. A heartfelt time to remember, reflect, and honour loved ones amongst our beautiful Forget-Me-Not garden. The Forget-Me-Not symbolises remembrance, enduring love and the strength of memory.

Each flower was lovingly planted with the understanding that every bloom carries the memory of someone special - later to be placed somewhere personally meaningful to stand as a lasting tribute. We are so grateful to have had the talented The Welsh Wedding Bagpiper - Matthew Bartlett and
Emily Harris - Harpist with us

Thank you to all who joined us for this meaningful afternoon and to our valued sponsor Bupa Dental Care.

Coffee Morning Fundraiser

A big thank you to Sue and all at Senghenydd Community Centre for hosting an INCREDIBLE coffee morning at the end of August.

The day was very well attended, with an outstanding assortment of bakes, jams and chutneys and stalls - A transformative £2,800 was raised from the day! This amazing fundraising will make a meaningful difference to the hospice and we are so very grateful - thank you.

Gardening Volunteers

At the end of September, we had a great team of volunteers from Admiral to help at our hospice gardens. 

The sun was shining as the team were busy completing the final jobs of the season as we head through Autum. Thank you for your valuable support!

Charity Golf Day

Our annual golf day returned to Newport Golf Club on 25th September - raising vital funds for the hospice.

Glorious weather saw teams take on a wonderful day entailing 18 holes of golf, raffle and two course dinner. A big thank you to Tiny Rebel for sponsoring the Halfway House, helping to keep golfers refreshed and raise vital funds

It was lovely to meet Lorna at the start of September to celebrate incredible fundraising for the hospice. On 22nd August, Lorna took on a sponsored skydive, from an incredible 15,000ft!

Lorna successfully completed this immense challenge whilst also raising a transformative £1,000 for St David's Hospice Care. Thank you so much for your support.

Taylor Wimpey Donation

A big thank you to Taylor Wimpey, South Wales for a hugely valued donation of £1,000 to the hospice as the nominated charity from staff.

All our services are, always, free of charge and such support makes a vital difference in enabling us to continue being there for those who need us. Thank you so much!

Westfield Medial Centre fundraising trek

A huge thank you and congratulations to the amazing team at Westfield Medical Centre - their determination and team spirit shone through as they completed the challenging Llyn Y Fan Fawr and Llyn Y Fan Fach Trek in September - battling the wind and pushing
through every step of the way. What an incredible achievement!

Community support is vital to the hospice. Every fundraising effort helps us continue providing compassionate, free-of-charge care to those who need it most. We are so grateful.

Jamie's Kayak to the Sea

Back in June, you may remember Jamie taking on an extraordinary challenge - a 24-hour kayak marathon to the sea. 70+ miles. 26 hours of paddling. 40 hours without sleep. Months of training. It was nothing short of incredible!

We are absolutely thrilled to share that Jamie’s remarkable efforts and tireless determination raised an amazing £3,367.20 for St David’s Hospice Care.

It was great to celebrate this amazing fundraising and share our heartfelt thanks for such valued support that helps us to continue being there for those who need us. From all of us at St David's - thank you, Jamie. You've made a real difference.

Cwmbran RFC Under 8's Fundraising

We recently visited Cwmbran RFC Under 8's to celebrate their outstanding fundraising for St David's Hospice Care.

On one of the hottest days back in July, the team took on a gruelling sponsored walk from The Dorallt Inn to the iron-age hillfort on top of Twmbarlwn (Pimple) and back.

The team successfully completed their walk and also raised a brilliant £1,165 for the hospice - an amount that will help to fund many of our vital care and services. You are all Hospice Heroes - Well Done!
