Staff, volunteers and supporters took part in the march through central Lincoln to spread the message that hospice care is there to support everyone, and they held a large banner with ‘Here For Everyone’ emblazoned across the middle.

Ruth O’Melia, Community Liaison Manager for St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice, said: “We have been actively involved with the LGBT community in Lincoln for almost five years and are delighted to be able to show our support in this year’s march. We hope that by attending this event we are able to send a very clear message that hospice care is for everyone, regardless of their background.
