Vine Hotels renovates Ashgate Hospicecare's family bedroom for free

The work by Vine Hotels - which has sites on the South Yorkshire/Derbyshire border - means families can stay together and be close to their loved ones in a 'beautiful, homely, and comfortable' space at the Chesterfield hospice.

Julie Foster, matron at Ashgate Hospicecare, said: “This fantastic project has only been possible thanks to Vine Hotels, who have gone the extra mile to help transform their local hospice.

"Vine Hotels have created a comfortable, restful and beautifully furnished space for families and friends visiting their loved ones here at Ashgate Hospicecare.

"The family bedroom is incredibly important for our patients. It provides the calming reassurance that their families and friends are able to stay overnight at the hospice and are near to them.

"For families and friends, the family bedroom provides all the facilities required to ensure a very comfortable stay without having to leave the hospice, especially when time is most precious.

"On behalf of everyone at Ashgate Hospicecare, thank you so much Vine Hotels for enabling us to provide the excellence in care that we strive for.”
