A Worcestershire hospice is inviting members of the community to its annual general meeting (AGM) this October.
St Richard’s Hospice will hold the AGM on Thursday, October 20 at 7pm, at its building in Wildwood Drive, Worcester.
It will take place in The Green, the new heart of the hospice where people can meet, connect and relax.
The Green is surrounded by Living Well therapy rooms including an art studio and exercise room, occupational therapy kitchen and more.
The meeting will be a chance for guests to hear about the hospice’s work over the past year.
Chair of Governors, Jenny Cowpe, said: “Our AGM is always an interesting, engaging evening.
“We are so well supported by our community – and would be delighted to welcome as many people along as possible to hear a review of the past year and how our staff have risen to the challenges.”
After the meeting there will be light refreshments for guests.
Anyone is welcome to attend the free evening and must register their attendance in advance.
