We believe everyone facing life-limiting illness should receive the care and support they deserve. Our mission is to provide dignity, comfort and choice for adults who need our specialised, supportive care.

This is what it takes to provide hospice care

Your generous support over the past few months has helped to ensure local people and their families have been able to access specialist supportive care, both at the hospice and in the comfort of their own homes.

Your hospice care team

The hospice team consists of nurses, doctors, social workers, counsellors, a Chaplain, physiotherapists, complementary therapists, an Artist-in-Residence, Hospice at Home team and 1,740 dedicated volunteers, people like you.

Hospice staff will discuss your treatment and care with you, giving you the opportunity to express your wishes and address your concerns.

We aim to be sensitive and supportive in our conversations with you by respecting your individual beliefs, lifestyle and culture.
