Time to Care on the Road!
The fundraising team heads to Poole town centre to share Time to Care Appeal news
From Tuesday 23rd - Thursday 25th August, the team, accompanied by hospice mascot, the Time to Care bear, will be in Falkland Square in Poole to show build plans, answer any questions, and explain to the public about the services the hospice offers free of charge to local people living with cancer and other life threatening illnesses.
The display will include detailed plans of the beautiful new building that will become a purpose built hospice and include a 14-bedded unit that will allow for emergency and planned respite care.
The 3-day stint in the square wil also include a colouring competition for children. In exchange for a donation the children can help us to build the hospice by colouring a brick and sticking it to a giant model outline of the hospice.
The appeal aims to raise £2.5 million to complete the project - a target that cannot be reached without the support and generosity of the public. So please come along and show your support for your local hospice!

Who We Are and What We Do
Opened in 1992, Lewis-Manning Hospice is the area's local voluntary hospice providing the highest standard of specialist palliative nursing care completely FREE of charge to over 650 local people each year living with cancer and other life threatening and life limiting illnesses. After the contracted contribution from the NHS Bournemouth and Poole, the monthly running costs of the hospice exceed £50,000, for which we rely on the support of the local community, income from charity shops, fundraising initiatives, and legacies.
In our day hospice we offer pain and symptom management as well as a range of other therapies, such as physiotherapy, aromatherapy, creative arts and relaxation techniques that help patients to adapt to their condition.
We also run a lymphoedema clinic to help ease the pain and symptoms of the swelling of a limb, which can be caused by cancer or the treatment of it, and a breathlessness clinic.
All of our services are FREE
