A charity is marking 35 years of providing specialist hospice care for people with life-limiting illnesses, through an art installation. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Les Bourgs Hospice was founded in 1991 and the photographic exhibition in the Brian White Gallery at Guernsey Museum, Candie, celebrates the people and community behind it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The States of Guernsey said the gallery consisted of a series of about 70 portraits which captured “the people whose dedication, compassion and commitment” helped shape what the hospice is about. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Photographer Aaron Yeandle said it was a “fantastic opportunity to promote Le Bourgs” and was a “really powerful and emotional exhibition and project to participate in”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Called ‘Here for Life: 35 Years of Les Bourgs Hospice’, the exhibition runs from Saturday until 27 September. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The States said it tells a “deeply human story of care, compassion and community, through powerful photography and personal moments”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

It said the gallery “honours the volunteers, staff, supporters and people who helped establish the hospice, as well as those who continue to support its vital work”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yeandle said his “camera is like a key into people’s lives and communities”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“I would never get a chance to meet any of these people or learn about their stories,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“This exhibition has reminded me how Le Bourgs is part of the fabric of community of Guernsey, and as its part of Guernsey it will always continue.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Helen Glencross from Guernsey Museum said it was the “most amazing exhibition” with so many stories included. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
