“Hospices are never what everybody thinks they are going to be like. They think they are going to be gloomy or depressing places but they are not at all. There is a sense of liveliness and appreciation of life.”
A valued patron of the Worthing hospice for ten years, Bishop Mark has been a passionate supporter of the hospice movement since 1987.
