20 Years of Caring

Welcome to our website. Since the Hospice opened in 1987 we have cared for over 8000 local people. At any one time, we care for around 210 people in our community and offer support to their families and friends. We hope you find the details about our services and organisation interesting and informative. All our services are provided free of charge, we are not a part of the NHS and rely on public support to raise 89.5% of our annual running costs of £4.3 million. Enjoy  taking a look around our website and we are always grateful to receive your feedback. Thank you for visiting.
