School choirs visit the Hospice to spread some Christmas cheer!

We have been visited by a number of local schools from Pontefract Academies Trust to sing carols for our patients, visitors, staff and volunteers.
 
Four primary schools attended the Hospice over the week to sing a range of Christmas Carols including Jingle Bells, We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Jingle Bell Rock. The children brought their infectious smiles, and beautiful singing voices which delighted everyone in the building, the carols could be heard from all corners of the Hospice.
 
Jo Schofield, Director of Clinical Services says: “It is always lovely having the children come into the Hospice to sing, especially at this time of year. The Christmas carols boost our patients wellbeing and seeing the children’s smiling faces underneath their Christmas hats is a real joy for the hardworking staff here at the Hospice.”
 
We’re really grateful to be surrounded by local schools that always want to get involved with helping the Hospice. Over 30 schools are currently taking part in our Reindeer Run challenge!
