The Florence Nightingale Hospice

December 17th 2012

Yesterday Luca and I were fortunate enough to have been able to help out with bucket collecting for the Florence Nighingale Hospice’s Christmas Carol Concert outside the Waterside theatre in Aylesbury. We wanted to help others over Christmas and decided that we would contact the hospice to offer our time and assistance and were kindly informed of this event.

The morale was fantastic and despite the cold and rain there were so many smiles and kind donations from theatre-goers and the general public, and the Florence Nightingale staff were amazing.

It is such a humbling experience to be able to give something back to the local community and volunteer your time to benefit others, it reminds you of what it is to be human, to care and to show compassion to others. Standing in the cold hearing everybody sing Christmas carols was so beautiful and heartfelt and it sums up the true spirit of Christmas.

Being a mother to two beautiful children I know that I would give anything to keep them safe and well, and I know that I won’t be around forever and there will sadly come a time when we will have to say goodbye. And it is these wonderful people at the hospice that deal with this everyday, ensuring the comfort and kindness given to their patients, and consoling the families left behind. I can’t even begin to understand how difficult this must be, and how strong they all are for always staying brave and hospitable throughout the good times and the bad.

And I strongly urge all of you to please take a little time out to think of others, not only at this special time of year but every month throughout. We all have the ability to make a difference by volunteering locally, whether it be five minutes or five months, it’s the taking part that counts and it can make a world of difference to others.
