On 8th September, Cudeca was delighted to receive 15 US Navy Sailors and Chiefs, led by Chaplain Trofort, from the USS The Sullivans, an Arleigh Burke class destroyer of the U.S. Navy on its way home to Florida after seven months at sea. When in port, the sailors like to keep up with COMREL (Community Relations Project) which involves helping with community services, and Cudeca was the grateful recipient.

As always, we were impressed with their military efficiency and in just a few hours they had finished all the painting that needed doing, and tidied the gardens. We then took a walk around the Hospice and visited the Day Care Centre, where Chaplain Trofort offered a heartfelt prayer for Cudeca's patients and handed Katie O’neill, charity shop co-ordinator, a beautiful wooden plaque for the Hospice.

We are always in need of volunteers to carry out all sorts of tasks. If you would like to help out as a volunteer or alternatively become a benefactor, please telephone the Hospice on 952 56 49 10 or e-mail pr@cudeca.org.
