Memory Tree
Dedicate a leaf to your loved one
The Sobell House Memory Tree is a beautifully designed artwork, which has been installed at the Hospice. You are invited to dedicate a leaf on the tree to your loved one. Each leaf on the tree is packed full of love, experiences and memories.
By purchasing a leaf and supporting Sobell House you will help us to ensure that our patients can live life to the fullest, and in doing so you’ll be enabling other local families to create new memories to cherish. You can dedicate a leaf in memory of anyone special to you, even if they were not cared for by Sobell House Hospice.
The Memory Tree is located in a bright and peaceful space in the Hospice, near the charity office. Once coronavirus visiting restrictions are lifted you will be very welcome to pop in whenever you’re passing to visit it. You can sit with a tea or coffee, or just take a quiet moment out of your day to pause and reflect on all the lovely memories you shared.
Making a dedication in memory of a loved one is easy to do
In exchange for your leaf we ask you to make a donation to help support other families who need our care. There are four types of dedications on the Memory Tree to choose from:
– Bronze Leaf £100
– Silver Leaf £200
– Gold Leaf £300
– Cow Parsley Flower £500 (only 3 remaining)
Your leaf or flower will be engraved with a message of your choice, and will stay on our Memory Tree for a year, after which you will be offered the chance to renew it or have it returned to you as a keepsake.

The Sobell House Memory Tree was installed in October 2020 and we made this timelapse video of the installation. We hope you like it as much as we do.
