The woodland can be used by hospice patients and their families to enjoy. Part of the donation was spent on the installation of a new wooden bridge which now gives year-round accessibility to a woodland walk that has been carefully planted with a variety of bushes, shrubs and trees.
The remaining funding is being put towards a planned Memory sculpture, a path at Bicton, and an oxygen machine which will be used at the charity’s hospice in Telford. Members of the club, which has supported Severn Hospice for 30 years, were invited to a special thank you tea at the hospice. The charity’s director of income generation, Tracie Harrison, said: “Each and every penny donated by the club is being put to very good use.
“It has allowed us to enhance the services and environment of the hospice, particularly for vulnerable people. There is a clear synergy with the charitable objectives of the Shrewsbury and District Breathing Club, that was originally set up to not only offer advice and support but also recreational and leisure time activities to enhance people’s lives. “The groundwork and landscaping will be here for many, many years to come and countles.
