St Helena Hospice relies on most of its funding from donations.
This funding helps around 4,000 people per year in both the hospice and community.
All photography from the day has been donated to St Helena Hospice.
We spent a day at their Colchester-based hospice seeing how this charity helps people with incurable illnesses and captured the day in photography.
We witnessed more smiles than tears and saw, at first hand, how those staying or visiting benefit from this wonderful organisation.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from everyone at Jacob Bailey
We are closing for Christmas on Friday 22 December and will be back on Tuesday 2 January 2018.
