Purple Week takes place every year in early Spring and the Hospice invites supporters to help raise funds and awareness, using the colour purple as a theme.
This year Alice House Hospice’s annual Purple Week took place between 13-19 April and there was great support from individuals, groups and businesses throughout the town, including T J Hughes in Middleton Grange, who raised a fantastic £863 for the charity.
Sunday 28th April saw a brand new event, The Memory Stroll, take place to raise funds for Alice House Hospice.
The Memory Stroll was a delightful walk along the sea front from the Heugh Gun Battery at the Headland and offered those who took part the chance to walk with friends and family and share their memories of loved ones. As part of the registration for the event everyone also received free admission to the Gun Battery Museum on the day.
Alice House Hospice are holding their second Summer Fayre on 25th May between 11am and 3pm at the Holistic Wellbeing Centre on Holdforth Road.
There will be stalls, children’s activities, donkey rides, fairground rides and much, much more.
Alice House Hospice’s annual Purple Week is a chance for local businesses, groups and individuals to ‘turn the town purple’ and raise fund for their local Hospice at the same time.
Now in it’s 6th year, 2019’s fundraising week ran from 13 – 19 April and was a huge success.
A raffle prize which was recently made and donated by a patient from Day Hospice was raffled by the Reception Team at Alice House.
