| There is so much going on here at Sobell House Hospice Charity that I hardly know what to talk about first! I am thrilled that we have moved our Memory Tree to the main hospice reception – it looks even more beautiful than I had imagined in its new home. This is a time of remembrance and, as ever, this edition we have a moving story about care at Sobell House – this time about Denise and her daughters. If you would like to remember someone special to you, please do consider finding out more about our Lights of Love celebration. It is one of my favourite moments in the year – a space to reflect, remember and celebrate in the company of those who have also experienced loss. Sobell House is – and always has been, since its inception – a collaboration between the NHS, the charity, and the community that we serve, and so I like to take a moment each month to thank those who support us. Thanks to our 29 volunteers at Oxford Round Table’s fireworks event this year. It’s always a lovely event and we are so grateful to those who volunteer their time to raise funds for us. Enormous thanks are also due to our incredible Oxford Half runners who raised a record-breaking amount this year. We are now in winter festivals season and so shops often get busier as we look for gifts for friends and family. Our shops are no exception! Read on to find out more about everything from Christmas cards to our designer bags event. There really is something for everyone! With my best wishes, Amelia Foster CEO |

| “The atmosphere was wonderful. There were some quieter reflective moments then a lot of laughter as their lead Flautist pulled some Jethro Tull out of the bag at the request of a patient. We love how the orchestra shares their music but also involves everyone in their work. For example, in each workshop someone takes the conductor’s baton and is put in charge of the quartet – it is a wonderful moment to see. We really believe in the importance of music at Sobell House. We know its power, its value, and its importance to life, but we can’t always deliver on the high-quality that the Oxford Philharmonic musicians do, so we really couldn’t do it without them.” |
| Thank you so much to Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra for bringing so much joy to our patients and staff. |
