Your leaf can be dedicated in memory of anyone special to you, even if they were not cared for by Sobell House, and by making a dedication, you are helping us to be there for local people and their families when they need us most.
Your leaf will be placed on the Memory Tree for one year, after which time you can renew it or we can post it to you to treasure as a special keepsake. If you choose to pay for your leaf by Direct Debit you will help us keep our costs to a minimum, and use more of your donation helping the people who need us.
The Memory Tree was installed at the hospice in October 2020. It was then relocated to a warm and inviting space in our main reception in November 2024.
You are very welcome to visit the Tree and reflect on the memories shared with your loved one. Book your visit by contacting Kayleigh from the charity team: kayleigh.ballard@sobellhospice.org or 01865 857007.
