About the charity

St Nicholas Hospice Care is a local charity which looks after people with life limiting illnesses. This can include cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease and the advanced stages of heart and lung disease. We can’t cure these illnesses, but our expertise lies in making life more comfortable for those suffering from them. We aim not just to look after the patient, but to support their family, friends and anyone else affected by the disease. The Hospice provides high quality end of life care but it also supports people earlier in their illness. This ensures that patients and their families have the best quality of life possible. As a registered charity we provide our services entirely free to all those who need our help and support. To do this we need to raise £10,000 per day through the generosity of the local community – thank you for your support.
