Commenting on the opening, Michael Sobell Hospice Charity Chair of Trustees, Michael Breen, said: “The new team of Trustees and I have worked tirelessly, alongside many others, towards this day and we are absolutely “over the moon” that we can now let the community know the service will be here to serve them. This is the start of a new journey for Michael Sobell Hospice Charity and the new team of Trustees, and we hope the community will re-engage and support our efforts to fundraise for the future.
