Christmas Songs at Arthur Rank Hospice
Share this story
Christmas doesn’t always come in December for some of the patients at Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, as the staff will support loved ones to celebrate earlier in the year if their condition deteriorates.
But for those who do spend Christmas in the Inpatient Unit everything will be done to help make every moment count during the festive season.
Patients, loved ones and visitors are invited to join in with staff to sing Christmas songs led by the ‘One Voice Choir’, made up of professionals who work at the local Addenbrookes hospital in Cambridge.

In 2024 Peter did not want to miss out and his bed was wheeled into the Bistro where he celebrated Christmas jingling bells and singing along at the top of his voice.
Our ‘Outstanding’ services are provided free of charge to patients and their families. Our aim being to provide the highest quality care, helping people to make every moment count. You can find out more about how we are funded here: arhc.org.uk/how-we-are-funded.
