We’ve received 50th birthday wishes from some familiar faces including Mel Giedroyc, Paul Chahidi, Tom Gilbey, Suzie Fletcher, and Annie Sloan CBE. Each has shared a heartfelt message of support to help us celebrate 50 years of care and compassion, which we’re happy to share with you today! 🌟❤️

As part of our 50th birthday celebrations, we gathered in the hospice garden yesterday to bury a time capsule in our beautiful gardens.

Carefully chosen items were placed inside the capsule to capture the heart and spirit of Sobell House for future generations. These included letters from the early days, poems shared by staff and patients, photographs spanning five decades of care (including royal visits), and a USB containing songs written and recorded by patients.

It was extra special to be joined by Gaie Scouller, the granddaughter of Sir Michael Sobell, without whom the hospice wouldn’t exist today.

We hope that when this capsule is opened in 50 years’ time, people will see how deeply this hospice was loved and supported by its community.

If you have any questions about the time capsule, let us know in the comments!

💛 Today marks 50 years since Sobell House Hospice officially opened. 💛

Over the past 50 years, our hospice has been shaped by compassion, dedication, and innovation and guided by those who helped pioneer hospice care at a time when it was still emerging. From those early days to the present, our teams across the hospice, hospitals, and community have worked tirelessly to provide exceptional end-of-life care to people across Oxfordshire.

In 1976, we cared for 181 patients in our first year. Today, we support more than 5,000 patients annually, and behind every number is a person, a family, and a story, and it is a privilege to be part of each one.

This milestone is a moment to reflect, but above all, to express our deepest gratitude to our staff and volunteers, past and present, and to the incredible community of supporters who have made our work possible.

Your generosity has sustained us for 50 years, and with your continued support, we hope to be here for many more to come
