Make content about: Doris knitted for her local hospice
For years, Doris knitted hundreds of fundraising chicks for her local hospice. Now she is being cared for on its ward.
This story
Doris spent years volunteering on reception and sewing hundreds of knitted chicks to raise money for the hospice. After being diagnosed with anaemia and having a blood transfusion, ongoing health issues led to her admission to the inpatient unit. She is now receiving personalised support through the hospice's frailty service until she is well enough to move into a care home.
