Make a dedication to your loved one this summer.
You can leave a dedication here on our Tree of Love, and your loved one's name will be handwritten onto a length of vibrant ribbon and tied to trees within the hospice gardens.
Ribbons will be hung throughout June, and can be seen at our Summer Garden Party on 7 June, although you can visit the grounds any time. Your ribbon will join others hung from trees bursting with colour in the hospice gardens.

St Joseph's Hospice was founded in 1962 by Father Francis O’Leary, while working as a young priest in Pakistan.
The hospice in Thornton opened in 1974. It is the oldest and largest hospice on Merseyside and has been providing palliative and end of life care for adult patients from across Liverpool, Sefton and West Lancashire for 50 years.
We provide specialist palliative and end of life care, complementary therapy and bereavement counselling to hundreds of patients their loved ones every year. We are a registered charity and all our care is free of charge.
We have 31 patient rooms and are fortunate to be located in a beautiful setting within a conservation area and 12 acres of natural woodland.
