Idea
Within the framework of the "Festive Table" project, volunteers visit the palliative wards of Riga 1st Hospital, Pauls Stradins Clinical Hospital and Riga East Clinical University Hospital "Bikernieki" every week, cheering up the patients not only with treats, coffee and tea, but most of all - with their presence and leisurely conversations. Thanks to volunteers and donors, joy and positive emotions are brought to these wards for seriously ill people at least once a week, making their stay in hospital more pleasant. Every "Festive Table" day organised by Hospiss LV is a day of celebration for the patients.
Various concerts are also regularly organised to improve patients' well-being. Musicians from the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra often play in the corridors of the hospital.
From 2024, the "Festive Table" will also take place in Valmiera, Vidzeme Hospital, and Ventspils, North Kurzeme Regional Hospital. Around 255 portions of "Festive Table" snacks are distributed each week.
"The "festive table" is provided by Rimi and the Ministry of Welfare.
