Following on from our incredibly successful and well-supported Sloughbottom Parkrun Pop-Up, our Retail Team are back, offering another fantastic selection of preloved sportswear to the running community.

This time our collaboration is with Catton Parkrun, and we sincerely thank them for allowing us to join their Saturday morning.

We know what runners like; and the combination of affordable sportswear teamed with cake is sure to be a winner!

Our items are not priced, as we believe they should be accessible to all. We just ask for a suggested minimum donation of £3 per item.

The cake stall will be stocked with post-run treats and will include vegan options.

We are also able to accept sportswear donations on the day, and would love to utilise any of your unwanted items to help generate funds for our charity.

Cash and card payments are accepted.

We can’t wait to see you again! 3-2-1 GO!

The session offers guidance and understanding to help you navigate your thoughts and feelings in these difficult early moments of grief.

Losing a loved one often brings distress with intense, overwhelming thoughts and feelings and often a sense that we are not coping.

We offer a short presentation about grief and how it may manifest within you and your daily living, along with some guidance on how to care for yourself.

It is a safe space where you may also feel able to share your experiences with others who are on a similar journey.

Sessions are offered bi-monthly at Priscilla Bacon Lodge. It is free to attend and you do not need to have had previous contact with the hospice.

We are thrilled to collaborate with colleagues across Norfolk and Waveney on the Zest programme, which brings together children’s and adult services to create a pathway for smoother transitions into adult care.

Monthly drop-in sessions are taking place at either Priscilla Bacon Lodge, Tapping House, or the Louise Hamilton Centre, designed to give young people and their families a chance to meet those who may be involved in their care as they transition from East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) to adult services. EACH staff will be there to offer support throughout.

During these sessions, you can connect with other families, join in some fun activities, and enjoy a chat over a cuppa. This pilot programme will run for 12-18 months, and we hope to expand transition support services based on the feedback we receive.

The sessions also give young people and their families an opportunity to help shape future services. There will be multiple ways for you to share your thoughts on how we can best support your journey.

Please note, these are self-care sessions, meaning that each family is responsible for their young person.

We look forward to welcoming you and working together on this transition journey!

“We had a fantastic time completing the 5K inflatable run, and even better, it supported the Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity! The numerous obstacle courses made it feel like we weren’t running 5 kilometres. After our team regrouped at the finish line, we agreed that we would have to do this again next year!”

“We all had a blast, thank you to all who organised the event!”
