Your donations make a BIG difference
More and more people are living with life-limiting conditions and need specialist care like ours to help them have the best quality of life, to the end of life. Our care, delivered at the Hospice and in people’s homes, supports the physical, emotional and social needs of every patient and their loved ones.
Our care is free at the point of use, but unlike the NHS, we are not fully government funded. We need £39,000 each day to care for local families who need our vital support. Our care is only made possible thanks to the generosity of our local community – every donation, gift in Will, charity shop purchase and events like Trunks across the Thames makes a difference.
We are committed to ensuring we are always a place of hope and dedicated to providing care and support to all those who need us, when and where they need it, today and for generations to come.

We’re still buzzing from our Art Selection Event last week and wanted to share some of our favourite highlights from an evening filled with creativity and community spirit.
With 80 stunning designs on display – shortlisted from 300 entries by artists local and far – our sponsors had a tough job on their hands! The final designs will be transforming our streets into a spectacular trail in the summer!
Swipe through for a sneak peek of the evening, then head over to our website to browse the full gallery and see if you can spot yourself, your colleagues, or some familiar faces in the crowd! 📸
As Jess Seymour, our Project Manager, said: “This project simply wouldn`t be possible without the incredible commitment of our sponsors and supporters, and it was truly wonderful to have everyone together in one room to celebrate this milestone.”
We have everything from intricately detailed storytelling 🔍 to bold, neon pop-art ⚡—which style do you think will be your favourite? Let us know in the comments! 👇
