Humberts are proud to be supporting this year’s Taunton Marathon 2019. The event which takes place on the 7th April 2019, has been going since 1983, have paired with Humberts who are actively looking to engage with the community and support local events.

We are running in aid of St. Margaret’s Hospice, which has been at the heart of Somerset’s community for over 39 years. Delivering high quality, responsive and compassionate care to patients and their families facing a life-limiting illness.

St. Margaret's Hospice are patient centred, compassionate, respectful, brave, self-aware, informed and driven.
 These values weave through everything they do.

Whether it is for one day or several weeks, the time patients spend at the hospice is precious and cherished by their families. Through their medical expertise, nursing skills and specialist support services, they provide physical, emotional and spiritual care to patients and their loved ones.

With two hospice sites; one in Yeovil and one in Taunton, as well as five community based teams caring for patients in their own homes, they continually strive to reach everyone in the community that needs our care, often during their precious last days.

St. Margaret’s Hospice is dedicated to making each day count for all patients and their families. We aim to ensure that they always achieve what they want; from arranging an on-site wedding and a ride on a Harley Davidson, to simply enabling a patient to pet a hedgehog for the first time.
