The Hospice of St Francis helps over 2000 people a year to live their precious lives well. Our care has many forms - at home, in our outpatient Spring Centre or through specialised care in one of our Hospice beds - and is defined by each person's need. We rely on donations to raise the £6m we need each year to fund our free care.

The hospice gave vital support to my husband Phil during his illness and helped us both through his terminal care.
