At the Hospice of St Francis, we are dedicated to supporting over 2,000 local individuals who are navigating the challenges of serious illness. Our mission is to help them live their precious lives to the fullest by alleviating symptoms and working alongside them to achieve personal goals. Whether it’s returning to work, cherishing family moments, or simply enjoying a walk with their beloved pets, we strive to create a safe and nurturing environment for all.

Our compassionate care comes in many forms. With a professional team and dedicated volunteers, we provide support for a wide range of illnesses including cancer, motor neurone disease, dementia, heart disease, lung disease, and neurological conditions. We offer personalized care in the comfort of patients' homes or at our Hospice through one-on-one appointments and group sessions. From physiotherapy and nursing support to mindfulness practices and complementary therapies in our Spring Centre, we ensure that every individual receives the attention they deserve.

However, this vital care is only possible through the generosity of our local community. We rely on voluntary donations to raise the £6,000 needed each year; shockingly, less than 20% of our funding comes from the NHS. This is where you can make a difference! Join us for "Bubble Rush 2025" on June 15th as we come together for a fun-filled marathon event aimed at raising funds for this essential cause. Your support can help us continue providing free care to those who need it most. Together, let’s make an impact that truly matters!
