A HOSPICE is set to open its doors to members of the public.

St Richard’s cares for adults with a serious progressive illness, improving their quality of life from diagnosis, during treatment and to their last days.

June Patel, chief executive of St Richard’s Hospice, said: “We are looking forward to welcoming guests along to our free open afternoon.

“It will be a great chance for members of our community who may not have much knowledge of our hospice services to learn about our work.

“We hope to see plenty of visitors on the day for an interesting, informative and enjoyable afternoon."

At the event, there will be the opportunity to find out about volunteering for the hospice and upcoming events.
