Your support helps people like Mark and their families.


Mark was just 54 when he died in our care on Valentines Day in 2021. His wife, Emily, shares his story and why Mark so passionately believed no-one should be afraid of hospice care.


"Our experience of Saint Francis Hospice is overwhelmingly positive. Mark felt so strongly that if people were unfortunate enough to be told they had a terminal illness, that they should feel relief at being referred to the hospice, without any fear. It was this feeling that sparked Mark’s motivation to share this story."

What your donations can pay for...

Your generosity makes everything we do possible. Without you, people in our community wouldn't have access to palliative and end of life care.

Committed to caring for all

No one should be forgotten when they need kindness, care and professional support at the end of their life. We care for people, from any faith or cultural background who have been diagnosed with a serious illness.

An hour of Hospice at Home care costs £57.87.

Because only 27.78% of our funding comes from the NHS, without your support, it just wouldn't be possible to provide the care we do. Thank you.
