Despite the on Saturday morning, KEMP Hospice began their display of remembrance, celebration and unity at Brinton Park, Kidderminster, with the installation of their Forget-Me-Not Garden. The beautiful presentation of uniquely handcrafted metal flowers is available to view until Sunday 29th August 2021. Many of the flowers have already been secured by the public, with each one dedicated in celebration and remembrance of loved ones.
The limited-edition Forget-Me-Not flower sculptures have been handcrafted in Shropshire. There are still a number of flowers available, and by securing a flower, a vital donation has also been made to the Hospice, which will help them to continue supporting those living in the Wyre Forest with life-limiting illness and those affected by grief. Once the public display has come to an end, the Forget-Me-Not flowers will then be a timeless keepsake for those who secured them, to treasure the memory of their loved one.
Head of Fundraising and Communications, Charlie Homer said ‘We are thrilled that as the Wyre Forest Hospice, the time has finally arrived for us to share this wonderful display with our community. It is especially poignant knowing that each flower that’s been secured so far, is dedicated in remembrance and celebration of loved ones, including those who may no longer be with us.’
KEMP were assisted by a team of wonderful volunteers from The Wharf Care Home, Stourport on Severn who also kindly sponsored the event. Charlie continued “We’re so grateful for the support of the volunteers who braved the poor weather on Saturday morning. With them kindly giving their time, we were able to assemble the display ready for the whole community to share for the rest of this week”
A number of flowers are still available to secure on the KEMP Hospice website. To find out more, or to secure your flower, visit www.kemphospice.org.uk/forgetmenot or call the KEMP Hospice Fundraising Team on 01562 756066.
