Helderberg Hospice

Helderberg Hospice plays a very important role in the Helderberg Community. Helderberg Hospice promotes ‘life’. When anyone is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, every day is important – to be lived to the full, and wherever possible, free from distressing symptoms. ‘Quality of life’ is a precious gift for patients and their loved ones. Helderberg Hospice provided invaluable assistance here. 

Soul Circle participated in this fundraising event, entering two teams in the Cycle for Life event.
