Bringing the outside in The Somerset Ornithological Society (SOS) kindly gifted Charlton Farm with a bird feeder camera, allowing staff, children and families to observe the variety of birds that visit its grounds. Everyone visiting the hospice is really enjoying watching the birds close-up taking seed from the feeder. The screen is set up in the large communal dining room so it’s accessible to all. SOS Treasurer Eve Tigwell, Chairman Roger Dickey and Membership Secretary Dick Best were given a tour of the hospice once the equipment was in place. Roger said: We are delighted that the hospice is already getting so much value from the bird feeder camera. It’s great to see the camera working, with plenty of bird visitors, and to know the children and their families enjoy watching it. to everyone Bristol City Football Club help make special memories Melanie and her family have been having respite stays at Charlton Farm for several years as her son, Arthur, has Bilateral Vocal Cord Palsy and Bilateral Perisylvian Polymicrogyria/Worster Drought Syndrome and requires round-the-clock care. Thanks to CHSW’s relationship with Bristol City Football Club, Melanie and her family have been able to create special memories when the club gave Charlton Farm a season ticket for families to use. Melanie, her husband, Arthur and one of his sisters, Evie, went to the match against Ipswich Town in March. Melanie said: We were excited we had been given tickets to the Bristol City game. Arthur is a massive football fan, so it was a dream come true for him! We had brilliant seats near the front and had a great view of everything. There was a special steward on hand which gave us peace of mind; he was so kind and gave the kids flags to wave. The whole atmosphere at the stadium was really uplifting and we all enjoyed it as much as Arthur to be honest. Page 5
