The Pink Ball 2010
And once again this year The London Hotel and Countess Mountbatten Hospice Charity are inviting us to come along to The Pink Ball in its 2nd year and well worth it! This year the venue is NV in Southampton and once again you can show off your penguin suit or ball gown (your choice!). The entertainment will be in true London Hotel Style, you will enjoy a very nice 3 course meal and you could spend some money on the raffle.
It was a great night out last year (see last years event gallery for the pictures) and we are definitely going again!
Wanna come along? Spaces are limited, so hand over your money as soon as possible!
"Countess Mountbatten House is an NHS hospice that opened in 1977 and is currently part of the Southampton University Hospitals Trust. The hospice serves a population of around 720,000 people.
The Hospice service provides specialist palliative care for patients with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses in the in-patient unit and Day Care Centre located at the hospice in West End, Southampton; a hospital palliative care team providing support in Southampton General Hospital, and through a community team of clinical nurse specialists led by consultants in palliative medicine who support patients in their own homes throughout the catchment area.
The Hospice provides a special kind of care that supports people, to achieve the best possible quality of life, enabling them to live as actively and creatively as possible as their illness progresses.
In addition, support is provided to families and carers of patients during illness and bereavement, ensuring they too are cared for and supported through this difficult time.
The services provided by the Hospice include many vital teams comprising occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, chaplains, housekeeping staff and over 180 volunteers.
The Hospice has an important Education programme, passing on the expertise of the specialist palliative care services to medical students from the University of Southampton, along with courses specific to a variety of health workers in the NHS and the independent sector."
