Dedicate one of our hand-crafted 40th anniversary jasmines to someone special or as a reminder of your ongoing support of our hospice.
Dedicate a jasmine
The jasmine flower and its beautiful scent have long been associated with moments of reflection and happy memories, making it the perfect symbol of our fortieth year.
To celebrate this special occasion and all the happy memories made over the last 40 years, we have created 400 hand-crafted anniversary jasmine flowers which were displayed in a beautiful installation at our anniversary party in June.
For a suggested minimum donation of £40, you can personalise one of these jasmines with a dedication to someone special or with the name of your family, school, business or foundation to act as a reminder of your ongoing support of St John’s.
We have worked with sculptor James Sutton to create the perfect symbol of our 40th year and all the happy memories shared. Each jasmine has been lovingly hand-crafted and painted by James at his workshop before being transported to our hospice.
We are truly grateful to Dorchester Collection who have helped to fund the creation of these beautiful jasmines, meaning that all funds raised through their dedication can go directly to our work.
Whether it is supporting a child with a bereavement counselling session following the loss of a loved one, providing art therapy for patients at our new Wellbeing Centre, or providing specialist one-to-one nursing on our Inpatient Unit. Our 40th anniversary jasmines will help to have a lasting impact on our hospice and ensure we can continue being there for people living with life-limiting illnesses and their families when they need it most.

Where were the jasmines be displayed?
The 400 jasmines were displayed at our anniversary party at the St John's Hospice Wellbeing Centre and gardens on Wednesday 26 June 2024.
The party was the perfect opportunity to come together in our beautiful new gardens and celebrate 40 years of providing quality, holistic care to the community.
When can I take my jasmine home?
Once we have processed your order, our team will reach out to arrange collection from our hospice. Your jasmine will then be yours to cherish at home.
Can I keep my jasmine in the garden?
The jasmines are made from stainless steel and coated in a weatherproof paint so they will be able to withstand living outdoors, however, to ensure they stay looking beautiful for as long as possible we would recommend you keep your jasmine indoors.
How will my jasmine help the hospice?
It costs £7 million to provide our care free of charge. All funds raised through the dedication of the jasmines will ensure we can provide quality, holistic care to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families when it is needed most.
