About us

Support from diagnosis

We support people throughout their illness, at the end of life and through bereavement. We also support the family, friends and carers around them.

Our care is:

  • tailored to each person’s needs and wishes
  • available alongside active treatment
  • provided at home, in the community and at our Inpatient Unit
  • delivered by specialist staff, supported by trained volunteers
  • free to patients and families

For more than 40 years, we’ve helped local people receive the care and support that matters to them. Today, we support more than 3,200 people and their families each year.

Our care and support

 

Early support to cope with a diagnosis  

In the early stages of an illness we listen to people’s wishes and help them plan the care they want, wherever they need it.  

Our Support Hubs in the local community offer a place to connect with others who have been affected by a life-limiting diagnosis. These sessions provide gentle exercise and advice, as well as a safe space to have a chat over a cuppa and find out more about local support.  

We also have an army of local volunteers who visit people in their community to provide friendship and emotional support to reduce feelings of isolation.

Living Well  

Our expert team helps people understand how to live well with their progressive life-limiting illness.  

We help people to manage their physical symptoms, as well as providing practical, emotional and spiritual care. This might include one-to-one nurse clinics; physiotherapy and exercise sessions; therapeutic sessions such as art therapy and complementary therapies; or emotional and psychological support.

End of life care 

As people approach the end of their life, we are here to support them to have a good death. While we manage pain and other physical symptoms, we recognise that emotional and spiritual care are just as important as physical care.  

Whether at home or at our Inpatient Unit, we make sure each individual feels safe and supported at all times. We also look after those around the patient, who are also going through their own emotional journey. 

How we support at end of life

 

Bereavement support  

 
We’re here to help the whole family cope during the most difficult of times, including when they’re dealing with grief and bereavement. We support families and loved ones, through one-to-one support, companionship or group bereavement sessions.

Where needed, we also offer specialist bereavement support for children.  

Our Compassionate Cafés in the community are a lifeline to many local people, offering the chance to meet others who have been affected by bereavement or loss.
