Poole hospice celebrates success of Poole Park memorial event

The free event, which was sponsored by MSP Capital, took place on Saturday 15th June to give the local community across Poole, Wimborne and the Isle of Purbeck the opportunity to come together to remember their loved ones and write a dedication and tie a yellow ribbon. 

The event was open to everyone, not just those with a connection to Forest Holme and featured many local craft stalls, special performances by the Citrus Singers choir, the Academy Singers from Poole Academy of Dance and free craft activities for children.

Claire Cooper from the charity team at Forest Holme, said, “Despite the unpredictable weather, it was fantastic to welcome so many people from our community in the lovely surroundings of Poole Park who came to reflect and celebrate the lives of their loved ones. Last year was the first time we had taken Tie A Yellow Ribbon out of the hospice to the park and this year’s event has proved to be another huge success.”

For those who were unable to attend but would still like to make a dedication, the hospice will happily make one on their behalf, which will then be displayed the garden at Forest Holme over the summer. Please visit https://forestholmehospice.enthuse.com/tayr24
