INTRODUCING Kirk Wood.

This colourful character was designed by Dalton graphic artist Tom Sykes to support Kirkwood Hospice’s Capital Appeal.

Tom said: “I am happy to support the hospice by designing Kirk Wood.

“I admire the work the hospice does and was glad to help a charity in my local community that is close to my heart.”

Kirk’s catchphrase ‘’Your Hospice Needs YOU’’ is a call to action for members of the general public to really make a difference.
