 News | Stella's Community Service Rewarded

In July 2008, Stella was invited to the Civic Centre in Enfield, North London, where she was presented with a certificate and badge in recognition of her community service with the Nightingale Community Hospice Trust.

The awards are an initiative of the London Borough of Enfield Council and the Enfield Strategic Partnership, and Stella received hers from her local MP, Andy Love.

Stella is mainly involved in transporting the clients between their homes and the Hospice Drop-in sessions, but also spends time making tea, and helping at various fund-raising events. Earlier in the summer, Stella opened her home to the clients for an afternoon tea party, and in November will be holding a Pre-Christmas Tea party to raise more funds.

The Hospice own premises were badly damaged last year in an arson attack on a neighbouring premises, and funds are needed to replace some of the furnishings and fittings for when the rebuilding is completed this autumn. Since the attack, the nearby church has kindly loaned their premises so that the hospice is still able to continue to provide service to the clients.
