Story

My Dad, Robin, received incredible care at Dove House during his terminal illness in 2020. It was a challenging time for everyone, but the compassionate care he received meant the world to him and our family. Nearly four years later, my memories and gratitude remain as strong as ever—a true testament to their impact.

I'll never forget the day we arrived late on a Friday afternoon at the "cancer treatment centre." The relief I felt and the transformation in Dad as he "checked in" were incredible. He savored the therapeutic effects of a jumbo sausage roll and beans, a simple pleasure that brought him so much joy. The entire staff, with their expert care, warm friendliness, and Hull's signature humor, made a profound difference. The beautifully maintained grounds added to Dove House's holistic approach, providing a serene environment for healing.

Dove House was there for our family when we needed it most. Like other UK hospices, they don't receive the same funding as NHS hospitals and rely on people like you and me to support their vital work.

Thank you for supporting Dove House!

P.S. The route of the walk has so many connections from ice creams on the foreshore to Christmas dinners to horse rides to great friends and neighbours. Sign up too or see you along the way? Don't forget your wallet x
