Tisha, whose granddad was cared for at St Catherine’s earlier this year, said: “I’m really looking forward to coming along to the Christmas Festival with my family – it sounds like it will be a great afternoon out which people can enjoy whilst helping to raise money for the hospice. “The funds will help other people have access to the same wonderful care my Granddad and my family did which is so important, especially at this time of year.
