Just a reminder that there is a signposting database on the shared drive that you can access as read only. These are organisations we are aware of but are unable to vouch for them so please let patients know this. If you want anything adding to it or find that any information is out of date then please email Fiona Finch, Michelle Bewley, Sheila Hira or Hannah Dracup.

The dates and deadlines for the 2026 Hospice Pin Board editions are below. If you have anything in the pipeline then let us know – it’s never too early to give us the heads up!

If you are submitting an article and/or photograph, you are responsible for ensuring that everyone identified in the article (i.e. recognisably photographed or mentioned) are aware that it will be published in the newsletter and on staff intranet pages. A marketing consent form must be obtained from each identified individual and passed to the marketing team in advance of publication – we cannot publish any article without full individual consent. Copies of consent forms can be obtained from the marketing team or by following this link to fill it in online.

Articles published on the intranet are on hidden pages with access promoted to staff, volunteers and trustees only. Although the pages are hidden, they are not password controlled, and therefore may be findable/searchable on the internet. If you would like to opt-out of having your name or photograph published on the intranet, please let us know at marketing@loros.co.uk.

Thank you for your understanding.
