Naomi
House is a purpose built children's hospice, which opened in 1997 to
provide palliative care for children who will die before they
reach adulthood. In addition, last year a £12million appeal
was
launched to build a second hospice to care for young people over the
age
of 18 with severe life-limiting illnesses. Naomi House offers
one-to-one care and attention to families across Hampshire and the Isle
of Wight and bordering counties. No charge is made and Naomi
House continues to rely on voluntary contributions to cover
the
bulk of its running costs, which currently stand at £2.5 million per
year. With the help of valued supporters they can continue
working with families who so desperately need them.
The Southampton
Youth Orchestra, formed over 40 years ago, has gained
a reputation
as one of the country's finest youth orchestras. With about
80
young people aged between 15 and 18 playing regularly, SYO performs
several public concerts each year. They have performed
at the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal Festival Hall
as well
as locally in Hampshire. In 2006 they travelled to Poland
and, in
2007, to the island of Ischia to play at the estate of Lady Walton.
This summer they will visit Vienna.
This concert is the last for those who are leaving the Orchestra this
year.
