As a Centre for Excellence with many highly trained and specialised staff, it is part of our remit to improve Palliative Care in our community.
We provide a range of free services to ensure that adult patients & families living with an advanced or terminal illness can make the most of their lives.
All our services are free, but this is only possible due to the generosity of our amazing community. The Government/NHS only provide 25% of our costs, so we need to raise over £25,000 every day to provide our vital services.
Please donate what you can to help keep hospice care available to all those in our community who need us.
