Most of us will at some point in our lives experience a hospice in one way or another - the touching and inspiring stories about City Hospice shows the lengths they go to in order to support patients and their loved ones. We are thrilled to be working with them as our Charity of the Year 2019 and supported by some fantastic team mates, we hope to raise more than £2,000 through fundraising and charity events throughout the year.
Every day, the City Hospice nursing team spend their time caring for patients and families across Cardiff.
The fantastic team is made up of doctors, clinical nurse specialists, day centre nurses, social workers, welfare rights officer, occupational therapists, counsellors and bereavement support staff. They're all amazing and deliver their services either in patients own homes or at the hospice.
