Woo Fest is a multi-genre music festival for all ages that raises funds for St Richard’s Hospice. First launched in 2015, Woo Fest was founded by brother and sister duo, Luke and Ria Simons, whose dad was cared for by the team at St Richard's💙.

Since its launch, the festival has raised over £140K and has transformed from a small event into a nationally recognised gem, winning the title of "Best Small Festival in the UK" at the UK Festival Awards in 2019 and again in 2022.

Working for a hospice, the subjects of death, dying and bereavement form part of our everyday.

However, these topics take on a different significance when faced with personal grief 💙

Rachel Ayris, PA to the Clinical Directors and Patient Services Admin Co-ordinator, knows this from experience following the death of her dad – who lived with dementia – in 2020.

Here she recalls how support from her colleagues at St Richard’s helped her following a phone call at work with news of her dad’s death.

“It was so comforting – I felt like someone had wrapped me in a large blanket and was taking care of me,” says Rachel 💬

“I remember my line manager – who was on a non-working day – was suddenly with me in the office. I know I was unsettled, trying to put things in order, so she let me do what I thought I needed to. She sat in her office, until I was ready to go home.

“I will never forget this and her kindness towards me. The love I felt from all my colleagues was amazing and the supportive comments so lovely.”

Rachel was able to take compassionate leave to help her begin to process her grief, and to deal with funeral arrangements.

During this time, colleagues were in touch with messages of support and love – including the day of her dad’s funeral.

“Since dad died, there have been times when aspects of my work remind me of his death,” says Rachel.

“Colleagues continue to support and embrace me during these difficult moments.”

Morning all

As some of you will know, I work at St Richard’s Hospice, and I feel so proud to work there. Today, we are launching a very ambitious fundraising campaign!

We are aiming to raise £600,000 in 36 hours to continue vital services and to fully refurbish the In-Patient Unit. ⭐️ALL DONATIONS WILL BE DOUBLED AT NO COST TO YOU thanks to match funders & supporters⭐️

As some of you that have had contact with the hospice will know, it’s the little things that are the biggest things for our patients. It’s cuddling close to a loved one in the last hours of life. It’s welcoming a family pet to snuggle on the bed or simply knowing your carers see you as so much more than your illness.

Please take a moment to watch the stories in this link & donate

Don't forget tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule where they can use your photos. Don't forget Deadline today!!! It can be used in court cases in litigation against you. Everything you've ever posted becomes public from today Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. It costs nothing for a simple copy and paste, better safe than sorry.

Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts. Therefore,
Hold your finger down anywhere in this post and "copy" will pop up. Click "copy". Then go your page, start a new post and put your finger anywhere in the blank field. "Paste" will pop up and click paste
This will bypass the system.
I DO NOT GIVE FACEBOOK PERMISSION TO SHARE ANYTHING OF MINE., THAT I HAVE PUT ON THEIR SITE, . PICTURES, CURRENT OR PAST POSTS, PHONE NUMBERS OR EMAILS.. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING CAN YOU USE IN ANY DESIRED MANNER WITHOUT MY WRITTEN PERMISSION OR VERBAL CONSENT.
