Coles Miller Solicitors is proud to have supported a beautiful transformation of the courtyard garden at Forest Holme Hospice, providing a peaceful and restorative space for patients, families, and staff.

Thanks to the generous support from Coles Miller and the donations of Matt Evans from The Garden Room Living & Landscape, the previously unremarkable courtyard has been transformed into a vibrant, green sanctuary, with newly planted trees and a thoughtfully crafted design at the heart of the hospice.

The project was a true community effort, with Simon Kilminster of The Driveway Doctor generously donating his time and services to pressure wash the courtyard ahead of the planting. Volunteer gardener Simon also contributed his time and energy to help position the trees and bring the vision to life.

Kirsty Perks, Corporate & Community Fundraiser at Forest Holme Hospice Charity, said:
“We’re incredibly grateful to Coles Miller for their generous support in helping us transform our hospice courtyard garden. This beautiful space offers comfort, peace, and precious moments for our patients, their families, and our staff. Partnerships like this mean so much to our community and help us continue providing compassionate care in a tranquil and calming environment.”

The new garden space will now serve as a much-needed sanctuary for quiet reflection, conversation, and respite—especially welcome as the summer months approach.

Nick Balchin, Marketing Director at Coles Miller, said:
“We’re honoured to have been part of this meaningful project. Forest Holme plays such a vital role in our community, and we’re proud to support the wellbeing of everyone who relies on its care. This garden is more than a physical space—it’s a place of healing and connection.”

The project highlights Coles Miller’s ongoing commitment to supporting local charities and community initiatives that bring lasting impact and comfort to those in need.
