@Nelkcarps @Weldmar Thanks so much for coming on board Gary. It’s great to have you part of the herd, hopefully amongst a number of other local schools 🐘. Opening up the conversation and support around bereavement and grief, as well as art and creativity https://t.co/EaMX5XfoDK #Dorset #education

A massive well done to this wonderful team for pulling off our @Weldmar summer fete on the hottest day of the year yesterday. Lots of new attractions, entertainment and fun for the whole family. Very proud indeed of them all. Pictured here with loyal supporter Martin Clunes

@david3012 @TeessideHospice Well articulated David. I have followed your blogs, updates and progress at @TeessideHospice over the years and from someone at a distance, you have been a great leader in a time of uncertainty, challenge and complexity, particularly in the hospice care world. Well done

@frommetoyou01 @BBCRadioSolent @CharlotteFoot @SteveHarrisDJ Lovely to catch up with you Alison x

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

Wonderful to join @BBCRadioSolent Dorset this AM with one of our @Weldmar patients for their 10th anniversary show. Great to catch up with so many people from across the county and sampled delicious cakes from these two bake off stars!

Tomorrow AM, I’ll be joining one of our @Weldmar patients, Samuel, as we join the @BBCRadioSolent Dorset Breakfast team live as they celebrate their 10th anniversary. As one of their first guests 10 yrs ago, it’ll be wonderful to join them in marking a decade of Dorset coverage

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

Our @Weldmar supporters never cease to amaze me and one #Weymouth man is no exception.

Listen to Danny Collins, live from his bike workshop as he talks to @BBCRadioSolent Dorset about how he’s raised £40k over 8 years for the charity - funding vital care

This is our beautiful gardens at @Weldmar Inpatient Unit today.
Patients can be in the comfort of their bed outside, listening to music, feeling at one with nature. For some patients, outside is where they choose to spend their final moments. Because of our supporters it can be

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

@GHR_Dorset @Weldmar Thank you very much

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

@ClareJSweeney @Weldmar Thank you Clare - we feel exceptionally honoured

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

@chrisimillward @SmeeandFord @AprilComms @Weldmar Thank you very much Chris. We are both delighted and proud to represent more regional charities and the impact legacies can have on local communities

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

I’m joining @AprilComms at the @SmeeandFord Legacy Giving Awards 2023 where @Weldmar are finalists in four categories amongst a number national charities. We are honoured to be here. Awards about to start. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

A massive good luck to all 14 @Weldmar #LondonMarathon runners who will be pounding the 26.2 miles of London (and one virtually in Weymouth) today to fund essential hospice care in #Dorset. Their amazing efforts means we can be there when people need us most 🏃🏻‍♂️ 🏅 🎉

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

@gusmckechnie @LondonMarathon @davidweir2012 @Weldmar @HamwicHarriers Wishing you the very best of luck Gus. An absolute legend! Be sure to look out for Clare, April and Sandra at our official @Weldmar cheer station. Thank you for your continued support 🏃🏻‍♂️

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

79% of @Weldmar funds are raised through charity shopping, skydives, events, coffee mornings, legacies and marathons. 21% comes from the NHS, less than the national average. Thank you to all @Weldmar supporters across #Dorset. Without you, there is no us

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

This is a very important read. Cost of living is impacting us all but as demand for hospice care services significantly increases (30% more referrals to @Weldmar in the last 6 months), financially meeting that demand is vital. 1/4

https://t.co/xFn8aTWznk

[Matt Smith @WeldmarMatt]

Everyone deserves a dignified and person centred end of life, delivered where and when people wish. Without the appropriate funding hospice care as we know it today will not be available in the future.

3/4
