Salisbury Hospicecare Trust

Charity Registration No. 1123314

The Salisbury Hospice provides Specialist Palliative Care Services in the Salisbury, Wiltshire area. People who benefit from Salisbury Hospice are those faced with a progressive life limiting disease, the majority of whom will have cancer. It is on the southern boundary of Salisbury District Hospital - a purpose built facility opened in 1987, and extended in 1995. At any one time there are over 180 patients in our care. Patient care is free of charge

• The Hospice has 10 beds in regular use.

• A team of five Community Nurses visit patients in their homes.

• The Hospital Palliative Care Team visit patients in local Hospitals.

• The Peter Gillam Support Centre provides activities and care for out-patients, allowing carers a respite break.

• Social Workers and voluntary counsellors provide support and help in what ever form it is needed.

The medical and nursing staff have received recognition for their work in the field of Palliative Care and play an active role in providing training in such skills.

There is a volunteer team of over 100 local people who support the work of the professional medical staff eg. reception, driving, gardening and patient support.

A fundraising team constantly works to raise money for the Hospice in a variety of ways. For details telephone 01722 322339.

The Salisbury Hospicecare Trust is committed to raising £1million each year to maintain and develop the work of the Hospice.

My story

We did it!!!! All 7 of us managed to complete the 13.4 mile course despite appalling weather conditions. With the rain ranging from drizzle to a thunderstorm we needed to get it over with quick so even the slowest stragglers of our bunch were at the finish line by 4.35am.

It's not too late to sponsor us, your donations are very much appreciated - big or small!

AJ's lot were walking in memory of John Burden (also known as AJ) whose birthday, 6th June, marked the start of the walk.

Salisbury Hospice provides support and care at a time when your world has been turned upside down and everything you hold dear is held in the balance. Please help us to give something back to those who gave us so much and to help other families like us.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Salisbury Hospicecare Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Please sponsor us now, thank you from all of AJ's Lot!
