LangleyHospiceSociety&FoundationAnnualGeneralMeeting
April,2013‐March,2014
Execu ve Director & Presidents’ Report The last year has been a busy one for Langley Hospice, as we celebrated 30 years of compassion, care and support to the community we serve. We have come a long way from those early conversa ons around a kitchen table in the early 1980’s. Those early conversa ons have developed into a rich and vibrant web of Langley Hospice Society programs and services, that allow our staff and volunteers to con nue to deliver on our mission to provide compassionate support to help people live with dignity and hope while coping with grief and the end of life.
An increased focus on community engagement and awareness throughout the year saw some great opportuni es for Langley Hospice staff and volunteers to con nue the conversa on about the importance of quality and accessible pallia ve care and bereavement support programs and services for all ages, and provided in the hospice residence, in the hospital, at home, and in the community. Staff and volunteers par cipated in numerous outreach ac vi es and community presenta ons within the Langley School District, re rement and assisted‐living residences, and other local community service organiza ons and commi ees.
Exci ng new collabora ons like the West Fine Art Show ~ Remembering Be y, September 6 – 8th, 2013, provided opportuni es to raise important funds and awareness. This now annual event (www.westart.ca) was held in partnership with the West Fine Art Society by invita on from local ar st, Murray Phillips, in memory of his wife Be y, who passed away in June of 2013. Murray spoke of their decision to move to the hospice residence and the important role that the residence, our volunteers and the hospice staff played in allowing Be y to ‘live her dying well’ and the decision they made together to give back. The event raised over $18,000 in Be y’s memory, and will see this year’s show hosted by the Thunderbird Show Park in North Langley on September 5‐7, 2014.
On September 26th, the community came together to help us celebrate at our ‘Langley Hospice Society Anniversary Garden Party ~ Celebra ng 30 Years, hosted on the grounds of our suppor ve programs centre. The Garden Party was well a ended and saw our local Mayor(s), Jack Froese (TOL), and Ted Schaeffer (COL), and hospice founder, Jeanine McCarthy join the fes vi es. It was a fabulous opportunity to celebrate
and showcase the many Langley Hospice programs and services offered to the community. Thank you to the many sponsors, volunteers, donors and supporters, who helped make the event a success.
Langley Hospice staff and volunteers con nue to provide important an cipatory, early and ongoing care and support programs for children, teens, adults and families, through our Suppor ve Programs Centre, the hospice residence, and in the community.
Throughout the year, our Child and Youth Bereavement Program saw a growing number of children and teens, and their caregivers, accessing 1:1 and group support as they journey through the loss of a loved one. This increase in access resulted in the decision to hire an addi onal part‐ me Child and Youth Bereavement Support Worker, and the introduc on of a couple of new collabora ve programs focused on suppor ng teens, including Yoga, and ‘Moments In Focus – a Teen Photography Project’. In addi on to the already full complement of programming including day camps and Camp Chrysalis, our summer camp program; paren ng workshops; and ongoing children’s support groups, Linda Sheridan, our Child and Youth Coordinator, developed and delivered two 8‐week child and youth bereavement trainings for volunteers, which were completed by 19 par cipants.
In 2013, our Adult Bereavement Program established the Heart to Heart Widows Group to meet the growing needs of a female demographic of clients who wished to seek support from other widows in the community. This group had an average of 6‐10 par cipants, and resulted in many of the members transi oning in to one of our more “structured” general loss‐support groups. What was demonstrated was that the Widows Group provided clientele, who were generally unaware of hospice services, with insight and experience to group work. Therefore, plans to create a walking group commenced, in order to provide a safe, non‐judgmental environment for community members to seek the comfort of others who are grieving, without the pressure of having to share their story. The walking group, Suppor ve Steps, now has a steady amount of par cipants, all of whom who have now sought services in one form or another. This type of quality, client‐centred programming allowed us to support more than 270 individuals through our one‐to‐one and group grief support programs.
