(Hospiscare are one of our clients, so I am biased, but nonetheless...). The case study of a patient who had kept a blog through his battle with cancer was really moving, and very eloquently communicated. Their response to this is a great example of how Hospiscare are always looking for opportunities to utilise the energy and enthusiasm of their volunteers - and is this instance a patient - to communicate the fantastic work they do for people with terminal illness and their families. The challenge they face is the very personal and emotional nature of what they do - which is what makes their enthusiasm to overcome these challenges and break new ground in social media so exciting.Anyone who want to know more about Hospiscare should visit <a href="http://www.hospiscare.co.uk" rel="nofollow">www.hospiscare.co.uk</a> Hi ScottReally nice post, and some great insight into Devon Air Ambulance and their great work.I thought another really interesting insight into charities engaging with social media was the Endeavour slot at Like Minds from Amy Kilburn of Hospiscare (@AmyHospiscare).
