Time for tea

The stunning Elizabethan house, The Nash, at Kempsey near Worcester, will be the backdrop for afternoon tea on Thursday, 4th June in aid of St Richard’s Hospice.

The event is being held by kind invitation of William and Brenda Bennett-Davies at 2.30pm. As well as a delicious afternoon tea there will be a talk by guest speaker Margaret Walker, appropriately titled “Everything stops for tea.”

Tickets are £18 and available from Helen Morris on 01386 860045 or Ann Price on 01905 840204.

The Nash as it now stands is Elizabethan dating from 1598, with addition from several periods and was completed in the eighteenth century.

St Richard’s Hospice provides free specialist palliative care for patients living with life-threatening illnesses and supports their families. Each year the hospice team supports over 2,600 patients and family members in Worcestershire with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.

Patients are cared for in Day Hospice, the 17-bed In-patient Unit or in their own homes by a specialist professional team as well as many trained volunteers.

In the In-patient Unit, specialist staff are on hand 24 hours a day to manage patients’ symptoms and where, if appropriate, patients may spend the last few days of life in comfort and dignity. St Richard’s is an independent charity and is grateful for all donations to help it to continue its work.
