Welcoming Our Community at the Hospice

• 14 February 2025

We have been busy speaking to our community about services – open to all, at the Charity.

CEO, Sharon Allen OBE and Jenny Oakes, Ward Manager had the pleasure of visiting the Khidmat Sisters, a group for Muslim women who meet in Cherry Hinton and later showing them around the Hospice.

We were, also pleased to welcome Wei Sun and colleagues from the Chinese Community Centre, including Chunmei Jian, Manager of the Cambridge Manor Care Home. On January 25, Sharon had the pleasure of joining them for their vibrant 2025 Chinese New Year celebrations. She was delighted to be invited to celebrate with the community and embrace the joy and traditions of the Lunar New Year. A huge thank you to everyone involved for such a warm and welcoming event.

Building connections with our elected MPs, so we can inform them about the work we and the hospice sector do. We were very pleased to welcome Pippa Heylings and her colleague Mark Brooks to a visit to the Hospice. CEO, Sharon Allen OBE, and Director of Clinical Services and Deputy CEO, Sara Robins were delighted to show Pippa and Mark around before hosting a lunch in our Bistro. They were very impressed and said how much they had learned.

It is always a pleasure to show visitors around the Hospice and share more about the Charity’s services and we are delighted that they are all keen to support our work.
