2025 marks 35 years since Willow Burn Hospice was officially opened by H.R.H The Duchess of Kent. Willow Burn was made possible by founders Valerie Davison and Irene Mortimer, a grant from the Cancer Relief Macmillan Fund and by the generosity of local people.
Over 35 years, Willow Burn has seen a lot of changes, new faces, new services and a brand new hospice and community hub. One thing that hasn’t changed is that generosity from local people. Willow Burn wouldn’t be marking this milestone without you, so if you would like to share your Willow Burn story with the community, please get in touch with Rachel Quince, Deputy Chief Executive at:
