The children's hospice wants to honour those they've supported
Julia’s House Children’s Hospices will mark it’s 20th anniversary by displaying their Forever Butterflies in Wiltshire and Dorset.
They'll be displayed at Bowood House and Athelhampton House in April.
The Butterflies, which help remember lost loved ones.
Following the two display’s the Butterflies will land in the homes of those who have lost a loved one the hospice helped.
Diana Lawrence, who lost younger sister Gabby, and mum Maria, said:
“Having a butterfly in my garden is a lovely way of thinking them of being free.”
For author Annabel Karmel, Julia’s House Patron, the Butterflies hold a special meaning:
“Julia’s House is a charity close to my heart because of losing my daughter, Natasha.
“Losing a child is the worst thing that can ever happen as a mother. The work we do with Julia’s House will live on through many generations of families. Forever Butterflies will help that work to continue.”
A handmade Forever Butterfly cost £35 and are made by Unbearable Design in Weymouth and come with a waterproof sky-blue lacquer.
