Lilac & Helen are both completing the Dalai Lama Trek in the Himalayas this October to raise money for the Highland Hospice. The challange starts in Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama and the centre of the Tibetan Community are situates - the heart of the world's highest mountain range. We are self funding our places so every single penny donated goes straight to this amazing cause. You can keep track of how we get on via the Sleeping Beauty Salons & Spas Facebook page.

Charity Information

When faced with life shortening illness, death and bereavement, the people of the Highlands deserve the best possible care and support. At Highland Hospice, our ambition is to ensure they receive this.

Hospice care focuses on the individual and puts the needs of them and their families at the centre of decision-making. By managing their pain and other physical symptoms, we help make time and space for reflection, for gaining perspective and for achieving a measure of calm. Crucially, our team also offers advice with the emotional, social and spiritual issues that may arise and works with patients, families and carers at a time of transition to help them enjoy, value and commemorate life.

As well as providing services direct to those in need, we work in partnership with local communities and support professional and unpaid carers by sharing resources and offering training and mentoring, so they can provide the best care they can.

Highland Hospice services are offered free of charge to all those in the Highlands who need them. We are an independent local charity reliant on our community for the majority of our funding.
