A nurse has written and released a fundraising song to support hospice care.

Oli Nazer, who works at St Wilfrid’s Hospice in Eastbourne, wrote the song Unbroken with friends and colleagues in a bid to raise £10,000 for the charity.

Unbroken is intended to shine a light on the world of hospice care and those who rely on it.

Mr Nazer said: "As well as a passion for nursing, one of my greatest loves is music.

"Unbroken was created to honour the extraordinary courage, love and humanity witnessed every day in palliative and hospice care.

"With the hospice hitting challenging times recently, I had the idea of trying to write a song that would shine a light on the world of hospice care, particularly on the incredibly inspiring patients, loved ones and carers I have the privilege of meeting every day.

"Their strength is humbling and a source of constant inspiration.

"The song is intended to be a reflection of our patients’ incredible capacity to ‘see sunshine, even when it feels like rain’."

Mr Nazer also plays guitar on the track.

The song is available for download at unbroken4stwilfridshospice.org.

The song was produced by psychiatric nurse Ben Davidson, who is also a friend of the hospice.

He performs as the lead singer, as well as playing bass and mandolin.

Backing vocals are provided by St Wilfrid’s nurse Karen Connor.

St Wilfrid’s Hospice provides high-quality care and support for people across Eastbourne, Seaford, Hailsham, Uckfield, Heathfield (and all points between) with life-limiting illnesses.
