A WALKING heart has paid a visit to a charity shop in Virginia Water to encourage people to love hospices.
Hope the Heart, the mascot for the 'Love your Hospice' campaign, has been visiting Woking and Sam Beare Hospices recently to introduce herself to the volunteers and staff.
The mascot is aiming to educate members of the public about their local hospice and the importance of the New Build Appeal, hoping to inspire donations to help raise the remaining £3.4million needed to complete the new in patient unit in Woking and the subsequent redevelopment of Sam Beare Hospice in Weybridge.
The four colourful segments of the heart represent the four areas of care that the Hospice offer: On the Ward, In the Home, Family Support and Wellbeing. All of these areas of care will be improved when the new hospice sites are opened in 2017.
