Big Hearts Appeal 2024
Help us fill Longfield with love! Celebrate someone special AND support your local hospice. With your help, we can be there for families across Gloucestershire when they need us most.
Our Big Hearts Appeal is a wonderful way to show you care. Donate to the appeal in celebration of someone you love, and we’ll dedicate a heart-shaped plaque to that special person.
Each heart will be inscribed with a name or short message and displayed on our eye-catching wall of hearts, at Longfield Hospice in Minchinhampton. You are welcome to visit and view your heart during hospice opening hours, where it will be on display for a full year until September 2025. After a year, you can choose to donate again to have your heart displayed for a further year or share the love and allow it to be re-used to celebrate someone else.
Don’t delay, dedicate a heart today
Each heart will celebrate someone special AND make a real difference to local families who urgently need our support. Funds raised through the Big Hearts Appeal will help Longfield provide our expert end-of-life care, wellbeing support, and bereavement services, free of charge, to patients and their family members.
The difference you make

“Our target is 365 dedicated hearts – the number of days per year we spend caring for local people.“
“After John died, I was struggling. Counselling has helped more than I could ever have imagined. I can’t stop telling people what an amazing place Longfield is.”
Sandra had counselling with one of our experienced counsellors and now attends Longfield’s bereavement support group.
You can also dedicate a heart on our online memory site for a suggested donation of £5 or more.
