St Columba’s Hospice has just launched a new video explaining the services it offers to patients and families.
This film is part of the charity’s year-long programme to mark its 40th anniversary year.
Volunteers are a big part of the support network for the hospice and Ruth Laidlaw with her dog Yassie feature in the film along with Paul Shells whose daughter Emma died at the hospice in January last year.
Ann Cruickshank has been using the day hospice services. She said: “When you walk in to the Hospice, there are always friendly faces, the most beautiful flower arrangements, bright colours – it is the opposite of what we imagine the Hospice to be…There is something magical about it, every patient that comes in must feel the gratitude that I feel, through love because it’s just a loving place.”
