Hospice Care Week 2026

Event summary:

  • 05 Oct 2026 - 21 Oct 2026

This year's theme is: 'Don't leave hospice care to chance.' You can support us throughout the week by taking part in our 'Linking Our Community Together' and 'Go Blue for hospice care' campaigns.

Linking our community together

We’re inviting our supporters to write a message on one of our paper links to show your support for hospice care. You could write:

  • what links you to the hospice
  • what hospice care means to you
  • why you believe hospice care should be there for future generations
  • a general message of support for The Mary Stevens Hospice

Whether you're part of a business, school or community group, or an individual supporter, you can help us to link our community together.

Complete a link in any of our hospice shops, at our hospice receptions or download your own paper link here. Please return all completed paper links to the hospice by Wednesday 14th October.

You can also complete a link with our Community Engagement team throughout the week in the following places:

Monday 5th October - Cornbow Centre, Halesowen (10am-2pm)

Tuesday - 6th October - Provision House, Dudley (10am-2pm)

Friday - 9th October - Soffio Lounge, Stourbridge (10am-2pm)

Join us at 10am on Tuesday 20th October in our Education Centre (221 Hagley Road, Oldswinford, DY8 2JR) as we join all of the links together and measure the community's support for hospice care by seeing how far the combined links reach around the hospice.

 

Go Blue for hospice care

Whether you take part at home, in the community or in the office, you can support us by going blue for hospice care. You could:

  • donate something blue
  • wear something blue
  • hold a coffee morning or blue bake sale
  • buy something blue from one of our shops
  • ask your workplace to get involved
  • start a fundraiser

By taking part in Go Blue you’re not only helping us provide hospice care today, but you’re helping us protect the future of the hospice, ensuring that people in our community will always have somewhere to turn when they need it most.
