Dozens of families made unique works of art and priceless memories during a fundraiser over the weekend.

The event at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute on Saturday raised funds for the Friends of Hospice’s programmes.

Jennifer Mahoney, the charity’s executive director, said: “Friends of Hospice works to help hospice and palliative care patients enjoy the time that they have left with their loved ones.

“This tradition of making precious memories is so important to us, so we were delighted to see so many families turn up to support us but also to embrace this formative experience with one another.”

Local artist Heidi Louise Smith helped facilitate the artwork part of the event.

Ms Mahoney added: “We were particularly touched to see different types of families turn up, from parents and children, aunts with their nieces and nephews and grandparents with their grandchildren.”
