The rooms have been paid for and are named in memory of Joe, a founder member of the Hospice’s Guild of Patrons through family business Wynyard Park. Mary and Joe donated the £50,000 needed to convert the rooms from a sitting room to two fully functioning bedrooms for patients with long term illnesses to be cared for.

Alice House’s Senior Fundraising Manager Julie Hildreth said “This is remarkably kind and a wonderful tribute to the much missed Joe. We are so grateful to Chris and Mary and delighted that they could take the time to come to the Hospice to officially open the Joe Musgrave Rooms. The family and Wynyard Park are long term and very valued supporters of the Hospice and continue to make a huge difference to the lives of our patients and their families.”
