Heart of Memories offers a unique and special way for you to remember a loved one. Also by dedicating your own personal engraved heart you will be creating a lasting tribute to someone you hold dear.
Our heart sculpture is situated in beautiful, tranquil gardens at the hospice and you are welcome to visit any time to find peace and reflect.
Make a lasting tribute
Created by talented local Sculptor Neil Wood, this stunning piece of art is inspired by the love we see between our patients and their family and friends every day.
Inside the distinctive heart structure hang hundreds of smaller engraved steel hearts. Each heart holds a unique memory of someone who is deeply loved and missed.
Anyone can dedicate a heart. You don’t have to have had a family member cared for by us. You can dedicate a heart to a relative, friend, work colleague or anyone special to you.
Your dedication not only honours your loved one. It also helps our charity continue to provide our expert care to local people and their families.
Dedicate a heart to your loved one
In return for a donation to support our vital services, you will be able to dedicate a heart inscribed with the name of your loved one(s) and a personal memory or message. The heart will hang securely on the sculpture and you will also receive a commemorative card.
Hearts are available to dedicate all year round. As soon as your heart has been engraved and hung on the sculpture you will be invited to come along and view it.
Thank you for your continued support; it really is appreciated and makes such a big difference to local families living with incurable illness.
