Specialist palliative and bereavement support provider, Compton Care, is holding a special event in their Garden of Reflection at its Compton Hall site to give people the opportunity to remember and celebrate the lives of their loved ones.

The Garden is a beautiful, tranquil space for patients, families and visitors to spend quiet moments of reflection. It is also home to a dedicated Memory Wall on which Locks and Charms can be displayed in tribute to loved ones.

The charity’s Garden of Reflection Celebration is a heartfelt gathering for supporters. The event takes place on Sunday, 20 July, at midday and guests are invited to take in the peaceful surroundings, reflect and remember with poems and blessings, and enjoy refreshments on the lawn.

Guests are welcome to bring their own picnic or can purchase afternoon tea prepared by Crumbles Coffee House and Deli.

Jo Morris, from Compton Care, said: “This special event offers a serene space to pause, reflect, and remember loved ones. It is also an opportunity to come together with other people also remembering someone special and take comfort from our tranquil gardens.

“Our Hearts to Hold collection of Memory Locks and Memory Charms are a beautiful tribute in memory of a loved one while also helping us to continue to deliver compassionate care for those who need it most. We are looking forward to warmly welcoming new and previous supporters to Compton.”

Hearts to Hold Memory Locks and Charms can be engraved with the name of a loved one and displayed on the dedicated wall within the Garden of Reflection as a meaningful tribute or kept as a special keepsake. Charms are available for a minimum £30 donation and Locks for £60, which are placed in the garden for one year. All funds raised will contribute to the specialist care Compton Care provides to patients living with life limiting conditions and support for their families.
