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 peopleโs 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 ยฃ39,000 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 โ 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.

Weโre so excited to have all of the baby elephants from our Learning Programme back from the schools and community groups. ๐

Each sculpture has been transformed with so much creativity, imagination and thought, and itโs been incredible to see the different ideas and stories brought to life by people across our community.
