The lead singer of The Script has joined a UK-wide campaign to raise awareness of hospice care, by declaring 'I am hospice care'.
Hospices across the UK are joining forces to gather messages of support from hospice supporters, patients, volunteers and celebrities ahead of Hospice Care Week (8 to 14 October).
Anyone can join the campaign, simply by declaring ‘I am hospice care’ and adding a personal message, showing that hospice care is about people and communities – not just buildings.
One of the first people to pledge their support for the ‘I am hospice care’ campaign was Danny O’Donoghue, who met a fundraiser from St Barnabas House Hospice on a visit to Splash FM and was delighted to get involved.
It is hoped that hundreds more people across the UK will follow Danny’s lead and join in with the campaign over the coming months.
Messages of support have so far included:
• I am fabulous
• I am inspired
• I care
• I am a charity shopper
• I am part of my community
Together, we are all hospice care. From the people who support and spread the word about hospice care, to the patients, families and volunteers who rely on it. Whether you've got a connection to a hospice or not, get involved and help spread the word about hospice care.
