How to dedicate a sunflower in memory of someone special
It's easy to dedicate a sunflower to someone special. Visit our online page to add a name. You can even share your page with family and friends, wherever they are, so you can all remember together.
Please make sure you make your dedication by 31 July to guarantee your sunflower arrives in time to be planted at our Sunflower Memories event on 16 August.
All the sunflowers will continue to be displayed after the event at the Hospice, and you are welcome to come along and revisit should you wish. At the end of August, all sunflowers can be collected or posted out to you* (*there will be a fee to post your sunflower to you).

Your support makes a difference
Your donation to Sunflower Memories helps St Nicholas Hospice Care provide specialist support to patients and families when they need it most.
- £25 could support the funding of a nurse on Sylvan Ward.
- £50 could support training for our Hospice Neighbours, who visit isolated patients at home, providing companionship and practical support.
- By generously donating £100, you could fund a visit to a patient in their own home by one of our Hospice’s community nurses who help manage complex problems and concerns that are important to people, which may be physical, psychological and spiritual in nature.
By donating to St Nicholas Hospice Care, you are ensuring other families receive specialist care that you or someone you know once benefited from.
