This year’s display has been kindly sponsored by education recruitment specialists, Excell Supply Limited, North Wales metal recycler Entrec, and Wrexham data services company DTCC.

Fundraiser Delyth Underwood from the hospice said: “Thank you to everyone who has supported our Sunshine Meadow in the past and hope people will support our 2022 meadow of forget-me-nots.

"We are also delighted to be working again with local businesses and wish to thank them too for their support.

"We understand everyone has faced very uncertain times, but support for our hospice is needed more now than ever before as we have had to cancel or postpone so many events and close our shops and cafes during the past two years.

"It is imperative that hospice care continue and we will, for as long as we need to, adapt our services to ensure we are able to continue supporting local families.”
