Remembering you all at Christmas as you shine like stars in the sky … Roger, Pete, Jamie xxx

The team at St Barnabas looked after my uncle with such care and dignity. I will never forget everything the truly amazing team at the inpatient unit does for everyone of their patients. They deserve the world. I'm so happy to carry a torch in my uncles memory, and to support such amazing people.

Tony lit up the lives of everyone around him, its fitting that his memory continues to shine brightly xx

This is the first Christmas without Richard. I want to thank St Barnabas for all the amazing work they do and support they give to families going through similar situations to ours.

You made Christmas so special for me as a little girl. Thank you for all the Happy Christmases with you and Thank you for being my Dad. Love you always xx Emma

Beloved daughter. You are loved and remembered every day.

Hello, I have made a kind donation in memory of my amazing mum, Sarah and would love to share her story.

My mum was cared for by St Barnabas hospice, and stayed in the inpatient unit November-December 2024. At the age of 38 she had been diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of genetic lung cancer. Her short battle with cancer was terrible for us all to see, but the incredible care she received at your hospice meant the world to us.

One of the last memories we ever made with our mum was watching the torchlight procession together outside the unit. The staff assisted in bundling my mum up in blankets and fluffy socks and wheeled her outside to watch the light walk with her family and children. There were tears, smiles, laughter, kind words and hugs from those passing by. I am heartbroken yet honoured to be participating in the walk this year in honour of my mother.

On the 4th of December, the staff set up their conservatory to allow us to spend one last Christmas Day as a family. We laid presents under the beautiful tree, played music and ate a Christmas dinner and cakes brought in by family. My mum was able to watch her young boys and teenage girls open the presents she’d picked out for them earlier in the year, alongside being spoilt herself with lots and lots of bracelets, teddy bears and skincare! The nurses were constantly on hand to assist with pain management and ensuring my mum was comfortable throughout the day.

The staff gave it their all, from washing, brushing and drying mum’s hair to being there for a broken family in the worst moments of their life. They went above and beyond to allow us to make those last memories. The nurses constantly spoke to me and my siblings and ensured we were staying as strong as possible! Mandy stayed with us as my mum took her last breaths and I’m forever grateful that we had her support and guidance, and that she showed my mum complete compassion and gentle care right up until the end.

My mum was treated with respect and dignity until the moment she left your unit. She loved the yummy food, joking around with her nurses and watching the squirrels and birds from her window. It felt like home.

Thank you St Barnabas, we will always keep your charity close to our hearts. You have made a huge difference to our lives.

Remembering our beloved Grandma on our first Christmas without her. She is now reunited with our dearly missed Grandad whom we lost 14 years ago.
The most wonderful Grandparents I could ever have wished for.
Loved and remembered always.

Remembering you at Christmas

Dad loved Christmas! He was always so generous with his time and with his gifts. He liked to make a real fuss of people.

We remember him every day but especially at this time of year, and raise a glass or two. We all miss him very much xx

A wonderful caring Dad whose legacy of love and devotion still shines through and always will.

We will miss you so much this Christmas mum as we always spent it together. You are our shining star, always the fighter. All our love James, Abigail, Sonny & Georgia xxx
