The lives of loved ones lost will be remembered by generous donations made by local people, businesses and charities in the new Louise Hamilton Centre.
Great Yarmouth and Waveney’s new palliative information and supportive care centre at the James Paget University Hospital will be complete in December.
The Louise Hamilton Centre, funded by the Palliative Care East appeal, will give local people access to information, advice and support about life-limiting illnesses. The centre is being named after Gorleston woman Louise Hamilton, who tragically died aged 28 of breast cancer.

Fundraising co-ordinator Jenny Watson said: “We couldn’t have got here without a real community spirit and without local people really taking this appeal to their hearts.
We are truly grateful to each and every person who has donated. The appeal will keep going to support the Louise Hamilton Centre when we open and the many people who will benefit from its services.”
