St Barnabas Hospice is currently building their flagship Wellbeing Hub in Boston, thanks to a generous legacy gift left by a supporter. They are appealing for support from the public to help finish the build this year.

Before the pandemic, the Boston Clinical team at St Barnabas Hospice operated from an aging bungalow which was much loved but had become increasingly run down and didn't offer the environment needed for staff and patients.

The new building will be named Novak House in honour of Stefan Novak, who left a legacy gift to St Barnabas to enable them to buy the existing building to then redevelop into this new Wellbeing Hub. Novak House will be a safe and welcoming space where the people of South Lincolnshire can receive the best care and support from specialists. The final 25% of funds raised will go towards the following rooms:

Treatment and therapy rooms: These dedicated rooms will allow us to provide a range of treatments and therapies in a private, well-equipped space.

Garden room: This multi-functional space will overlook a beautiful garden and can be used for a range of activities including therapy groups, exercise sessions, counselling, social events and more.

Rosie's - our new lounge and kitchen: Rosie's will be the vibrant heart of our new building, named in memory of our cherished colleague, Rosie Wood who sadly died from coronavirus. Her memory will live on in our lounge and kitchen, making it a social space for staff, volunteers, patients and family members.

Last year we were involved in the care of 1,232 patients in the Boston and Spalding area, which shows a real need for more support locally. The money raised to finish building Novak House really will make a huge difference to so many lives locally, and we cant wait to welcome people from the community inside to see it finished.
