Morris dance ‘apprentice’ Jess Tyers was so impressed by life-affirming care given to her mum at a hospice she inspired her dancing team to fundraise for it.
Jess, of Reading, dances with Hurst Morris People who have adopted Katharine House Hospice, Adderbury in Oxfordshire as their charity for the year.
It was especially fitting as Adderbury is where one of the Hurst dancers’ Cotswold dance styles originated.
The hospice provides specialist palliative care for adults with incurable illnesses. Their team supports patients and their loved ones, ensuring that every moment matters.
Hurst Morris are inviting audiences to help ensure this important work continues. Donors can bring cash to the dancers’ pub evening performances or give online. Type #HurstMorris into the JustGiving.com search box. UK taxpayers can add Gift Aid.
After practising all winter, Hurst Morris begin their 2023 dance out season at 7.45pm on Wednesday, May 3, at The Jolly Farmer, Hurst.
Later performances include Thursday, May 11, at The Ship Inn and The Queen’s Head, both in ,Wokingham, and on Thursday, May 25 at The Wheelwrights’ Arms, Hurst.
