A beautiful, hand-carved wooden structure has been created and donated by local business Northwood Yorkshire with leaves of gold, silver and bronze hue – each engraved with the name of someone special.
Saint Michael’s invites you to pay tribute to a friend or loved one, by dedicating a leaf on the Tree of Life. When you make this gift, not only will your leaf be added to the tree in tribute, it will help build a canopy of care for local people living with terminal illness and bereavement.
Your gold, silver or bronze coloured leaf will be engraved with the name of your loved one as a lasting tribute and will be placed on the Tree of Life, symbolising the evergreen love we feel for those who remain a strong part of our lives.
To dedicate a leaf and make your regular gift, please fill in the form below or T: (01423) 878 628.
If you already support Saint Michael’s with a regular gift and would like to increase your amount to dedicate a leaf, please E: supportercare@saintmichaelshospice.org and we will call you to arrange this.
Over the last few months, our wonderful volunteer gardeners have been lovingly tending to our grounds at Crimple House, alongside our facilities team and In Memory & Legacy Manager. We have been carefully considering how we can rejuvenate our Tree of Life garden so that each visit you and your loved ones make brings comfort, meaning and peace.
We are putting together a plan for revitalising the area with fantastic new plants and a design which we hope you will love. Because of this, our work on the Tree of Life garden will take a little longer that we previously anticipated, and we’re sorry that we can’t invite you back just yet. We are continuing to carefully store the leaves that we’re looking after inside and will be inviting you to return your leaf to the tree later in the year when the area is open.
Please be reassured that we recognise how important it is for many of our community to visit the Tree of Life, and we will be working hard to make sure you can return as soon as possible. In the meantime, we thank you for your understanding and hope that our rejuvenated garden will be something to look forward to and cherish.
Should you wish to talk about the plans, or anything else, you are welcome to call our Supporter Care Team on (01423) 878 628 or email supportercare@saintmichaelshospice.org.
