OPERATORS of the Sandbanks Ferry have given free travel to a palliative care nurse who works for Forest Holme Hospice.
The hospice is the official charity partner of the Sandbanks Ferry Company until November.
Palliative Care community nurse Josie Armstrong, who has worked for the hospice for six years, uses the ferry on a regular basis to visit patients under her care.
Mike Kean, managing director of the Sandbanks Ferry Company, said: “Forest Holme is the official charity partner of the Sandbanks Ferry Company until November 2020. Due to the recent lockdown and restrictions, we have been unable to actively participate in as many fundraising activities as we had hoped, which is naturally disappointing to us, as Forest Holme Hospice is a cause very close to our hearts.
“The palliative care which Josie is able to give patients in their homes on the Isle of Purbeck is a lifeline to many, and we hope that by offering Josie the ability to travel on the ferry without cost, we can play a small part in enabling this vital work to continue.”
