St Margaret's Hospice
In 2025, The Phoenix Voices were once again been lucky enough to be chosen as one of the groups to benefit from Co-op's Local Community Fund! We used the money raised to help us provide 6 weekly choral workshops, leading up to a Christmas concert to patients that are experiencing life limiting conditions who are receiving palliative care at the Sunflower Centre, St Margaret's Hospice, Yeovil. By choosing personally meaningful songs, our aim was to evoke enjoyable reminiscences. It has been highlighted to us that these patients can feel "written off" and we loved the opportunity to give them a valuable new experience and boost their confidence and self esteem, through the power of singing together. The Christmas concert involved the participation of the patients and the attendance of their relatives. DVDs of the concert will be produced and given to patients and their relatives thereby providing a lasting memory for them and their loved ones.
