Hospital charity to hold Service of Remembrance

A virtual Service of Remembrance will be held for families, friends and carers of people who have died at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals.

The event will be available from Saturday, September 12 and people are invited to get in touch if they would like a loved one’s name or favourite poem to be read out at the service.

The service has been organised by the N&N Hospitals Charity and will be led by NNUH Lead Chaplain Adrian Woodhouse and Chief Nurse Professor Nancy Fontaine in the hospital chapel with members of the public invited to watch from home.

N&N Hospitals Charity Head of Fundraising Louise Cook said: “We already hold an annual Remembrance Service for babies and children but this is the first time we have held such a service to include adults.

“This will be an all-inclusive event and an opportunity for people to remember their loved ones who have passed away at the hospital, not just in the past year but at any time.”

The service will be available to watch and download via www.nnuhcharity.org.uk or https://www.facebook.com/nnuhcharity1 with further details and timings to be confirmed later this month.

If you would like your loved one to be included either through a name, message or poem being read out, please email nnuhcharity@nnuh.nhs.uk with name and any message by Friday, September 4 or telephone 01603 287107.
