Sobell House hosting flower display at Blenheim Palace

The display features 680 golden blooms, each representing how many people it is caring for in the community at any one time.

A symbol of remembrance, celebration and community, the flowers have been sponsored by supporters and will form a reflective centrepiece at the charity’s Spring Stroll event.

Emma Hope, social value lead at ODS, one of the sponsors helping to fund and assemble the display, said: “At ODS, we’re dedicated to making Oxford the best it can be, and Sobell House plays a vital role at the heart of our community.

“The Forever Flowers event is a meaningful opportunity for people to reflect and remember, and we’re proud that our volunteers are supporting it.

“Sobell House continues to push the boundaries of what compassionate, high-quality palliative care can look like, and we’re pleased to support them as a sponsor so they can continue to do what they do best.”

The display will be open throughout the weekend, as Sobell House marks its 50th anniversary.

It will feature prominently during the Spring Stroll on Sunday, May 10, offering a moment of reflection along the walking route.

The event starts at 10am and includes two fully accessible routes of either 2.5 or four miles.

Dogs on leads are welcome, and parking is free.

Sobell House has provided end-of-life care since 1976, supporting people in their homes, hospitals, and at its inpatient unit.

The charity raises around £4 million annually.

Darke & Taylor also co-sponsored the installation.
