We're very pleased to announce that we're supporting local charity Herriot Hospice Homecare at our next concert, 'Vive les Olympiques!' on Sunday 14th July. Herriot Hospice support local families living with terminal illness and bereavement. They are currently developing a new hospice at the former Lambert Memorial Hospital in Thirsk.

This warm and welcoming space will offer inpatient hospice care, bereavement support rooms, a cafe and a community hub facility, bringing inpatient hospice care closer to home for families in Thirsk, Northallerton, Hambleton and Richmondshire. It will mean people don't have to make long and uncomfortable journeys when they, or someone important to them, is at the end of their life. The Lambert will also provide increased emotional wellbeing and bereavement support locally, as well as a hub for the HOME Service and Wellbeing Network.

The redevelopment of the Lambert Memorial Hospice, kickstarted by partnerships with Lambert League of Friends and the former Hambleton District Council, will cost more than £1.7m. Herriot Hospice also received a grant of £250,000 from the Community Ownership Fund and Levelling Up Fund.

Richmondshire Orchestra is supporting this project with a donation from the proceeds of ticket sales at 'Vive les Olympiques' on Sunday 14th July, so the bigger the audience, the bigger the donation! There will also be opportunities at the concert to donate directly to Herriot Hospice and to find out more about their work. https://www.herriothh.org.uk/ 

So, support their incredible work and get your tickets for 'Vive les Olympiques' now!
