'Be part of something truly meaningful' - date announced for St Catherine's Yellow Day

It’s a fun day to celebrate much-missed loved ones.

The date for this year’s St Catherine’s Hospice Yellow Day has been announced.

Every summer, St Catherine’s Park, which surrounds the hospice buildings in Lostock Hall, turns yellow - not because of flowers - but because of ribbons. Each one carries a name of a person who is loved and missed.

Throughout June and July, yellow ribbons will line the grounds at St Catherine’s Park, moving gently in the breeze. On Sunday, June 7, families are also invited to join in a special celebration running from 11am to 4pm.
