Moments Magazine

Read our latest news & stories

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

We’re delighted to share the latest edition of Moments, our twice-yearly magazine bringing all the latest news and inspiring stories to you, our wonderful supporters. 

This issue celebrates our theme: 

'It takes a whole community' to make every moment matter' .

Inspiring stories of care, compassion & community

Inside, you’ll discover how compassion, connection, and kindness bring meaning and hope to our patients, families, staff, and volunteers. At the heart of this edition are personal stories that remind us no one faces a hospice journey alone, whether it’s our café team serving a warm smile alongside a cup of tea, volunteers giving their time to brighten someone’s day, or our clinical colleagues providing expert, compassionate care. You’ll hear from families who’ve been supported through the hardest times, staff who go above and beyond, and volunteers whose generosity makes each moment count.

We also explore how our services are woven into the fabric of our community – from Hospice at Home visits and therapy programmes to wellbeing support and the gentle rituals that honour life’s transitions. Each article is a reminder that the difference we make is magnified when we come together.

You’ll find ways to play your part in this community of care: through volunteering, fundraising, sharing your story, or simply spreading the word. Because when every hand contributes, every moment matters just that little bit more.

The power of community connections

In this issue, we celebrate the many ways our care reaches into people’s lives, from the heart of our Hospice to homes across our community. This special illustration brings those connections to life: the threads of compassion that link our dedicated staff, incredible volunteers, welcoming shops, generous supporters, and valued partners.

Together, this network of kindness and generosity is what makes every moment matter. It shows that Thames Hospice is never just one place or one person: it is a whole community of care.

Make a difference

Our services are free of charge to all those in our community who need vital hospice care but this is only made possible through the charitable support and generosity of our amazing community. We need to raise £39,000 each day to fund our services 365 days a year to the people who need us most.

We’ve never needed you, our wonderful supporters, more than we need you today. Please donate what you can to help keep hospice care available for those in desperate need.
