Light Up a Life

We are delighted to announce that friends and clients of Tyndallwoods together raised £2,460 celebrating the lives of loved ones by dedicating Lights on our Tree of Light in support of Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice.

Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice, officially opened in July 1979, is the oldest independent hospice in the West Midlands. It was a pioneer in the hospice movement, only the seventh in the entire country, subscribing to the then trail-blazing philosophy that although not every patient can be cured, every patient can be helped. Moreover, it was intended that the Hospice be non fee-paying, that patients be admitted according to need, from all walks of life, all faiths and none. Its opening was made possible only through the fund-raising efforts of the general public. Since then the Hospice has helped over 30,000 patients, their families and carers, through what can be very difficult times. It is open all day, every day of the year and covers the whole of the city as well as the borough of Sandwell, which includes some of the most deprived areas in the country.

Our Tree of Light now stands in our office garden during the Christmas season. Christmas is a special time for friends and family when we often recall memories of those who have died in recent years. The names of everyone for whom a light is dedicated is recorded in a “Book of Lights” kept on display at the office during the month of December.

Thank you.
