About St Catherine’s Hospice (Crawley)
St Catherine’s Hospice is a charity dedicated to providing specialised end of life care and support to local people and their families, friends and carers.
St Catherine’s is more than just a building – it is a philosophy of care. We believe that alongside expert medical and nursing care, a person’s practical, emotional, social and spiritual concerns should be cared for as well.
Patients and their families are at the centre of everything we do, we listen and acknowledge their fears, worries and concerns and respond to the issues that are causing them anxiety.
This highly personal, holistic approach to a person’s care takes time, skill and experience, plus a highly inter-disciplinary approach to resolving problems.
We care for people both in the hospice building and in their homes – in fact over 70 per cent of patients are cared for at home, with opportunities to attend Day Hospice, but without a stay.
All our care is free and is only made possible thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters.
Each year we need to raise over £4.2 million of voluntary income to fund our work.
