The Hospice 'kicked off' the new semester for their weekly day-care programme with a soccer theme – patients, staff and volunteers went all out, dressing up in their favourite soccer gear and enjoying a morning of post SWC 'footie fever'.

Marketing and PR manager Ingrid Martie says; "The Soccer World Cup created a real sense of unity amongst South Africans and we would like to continue to focus on the positive – it's a way of encouraging our palliative and chronic care patients to maintain an optimistic outlook in a fun and relevant way, which we believe has a positive influence on their emotional and thus physical health".
