St Helena Hospice Christmas Bazaar
Panto stars from this years Mercury Theatre Company smash hit panto Cinderella have once again agreed to come along to the St Helena Hospice Christmas Bazaar and will be opening the doors for all the shoppers at 12.30pm on Friday 13th November. Ella (alias Elizabeth Brown) and Buttons (alias Dale Superville) will be outside the United Reformed Church from 12.15 noon to chat to shoppers.
The 2 day Hospice Bazaar event takes place each year at the United Reformed Church in Colchester town centre and last year raised an incredible £10,000 for the Hospice. The Bazaar which this year will take place on Friday 13th November from 12.30 – 3.30 and Saturday 14th November from 9.30-3.00 offers shoppers a chance to buy jewellery, cosmetics, Christmas cards and decorations, clothes, toys and much much more. People also have the chance to meet Father Christmas and have a go at winning one of the many great raffle prizes.

There are now more than 230 photos of the Midnight Walk on the Group Page, plus a link to a video of the warm-up
I'mnot sure if this post willmake it through to those who i need to thank... but i just wanted to say that tomorrow is the first anniversay of my mothers death... St Helena's staff were wonderful, and i will never ever forget their kindeness. So thank you, you're all angels.
The Hospice provided fantastic care for my Mum and our family during the later stage of her illness.
To say Thank you to them I am doing a series of runs this year. The first was last Saturday, a 15k trail race in Hawkshead. It was my first trail race with much more loose rock under foot than I had anticipated so I did not get a great time 2 hours 51 seconds. Have a 10k in May and the Great North Run in September to go.

Thank you
My Mum works for the hospice and its a very worthwhile charity. I am pleased to see it is being featured on here to raise awareness
St Helena Hospice has just launched a new range of branded gift items that they are hoping people will purchase and give as Christmas presents this year. Items on sale include beautiful and eye catching pink jute bags, mugs, t-towels, diaries, address books and pens. Items can be purchased from any of the eight Hospice shops located in Colchester, Dovercourt, Frinton, Halstead and Clacton. There is also a wide range of Christmas cards on offer to suit all tastes.
In addition to this, St Helena Hospice is excited to be launching a new online shop where people can purchase all of these items as well as specially embroidered Hospice polo shirts and baseball caps. St Helena Hospice is for anyone who has been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and all services are free of charge to patients and their families. The money raised through the online shop and sales of the new branded gifts in the shops will be used to support Hospice services and provide care for people throughout the community.
