We provide specialist, palliative care and support to local people, free of charge, supporting them in ways which go beyond the scope and funding of the NHS. Our support begins from the moment someone is diagnosed, through to palliative care and ultimately end of life care. We help families and carers with the pressures and strains of illness, to coping with bereavement and moving forward. This is only made possible due to the continued support and generous donations of our community who provide over 80% of the cost of running the Hospice.
