The Memory Meadow

Local residents can remember someone special and help raise funds for a local hospice through a new planting project.

The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Memory Meadow on Egerton Road is a striking mix of brightly coloured annuals, including poppies, cornflowers, marigolds and cosmos. The scheme, supported by the Guildford Borough Council’s parks and leisure team, offers local people the chance to donate towards this living tribute.

Cllr Matt Furniss, Lead Councillor for Environment, says: “We are pleased to be able to develop the Memory Meadow project and help raise funds for Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice. The planting provides a bright and colourful tribute and helps to promote the support the hospice provides to local residents.”

Tony Carpenter of Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice said: “By making a special Memory Meadow donation in memory of a loved one, you will support the important work of your local hospice. Anything you can give will allow us to continue to provide the care and support that our patients and their families rely on.”

Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice is located in Farnham and cares for adult patients and their families across West Surrey and North East Hampshire. The hospice cares for patients affected by a terminal illness. It is not an NHS facility, but its services are free to patients and their families.

The hospice has to raise more than £15,000 a day to run its services. The team care for 140 patients and their families every day.
