In the face of your illness, you and your family may be feeling overwhelmed. You could also be unsure how the hospice can help. Our Welcome mornings will open your eyes to the support and memory making opportunities available to you all. This gentle introduction will help you discover how the warm embrace of the hospice can inspire you and your family to live every moment.
We understand it can be stressful navigating appointments, understanding medical terms and remembering recommendations from professionals alongside everything else. A minefield which consumes every waking hour of your time. Our hub of self-help resources provides easy to digest information, coping strategies and helpful advice for symptom management.

A life-limiting diagnosis deeply impacts the entire family. It’s hard to talk to anyone about your feelings when you could all be experiencing the same unspeakable pain. Our programme of support and events are tailored specifically for couples and families, including children. We offer a range of outdoor therapy alongside art therapies and support through play to help families connect. They will allow you the space to communicate and feel held, while creating precious memories together, as a family.
We run Twilight sessions, which is a therapeutic space for children and adult family members to share their experiences and express themselves creatively. Please call us to find out more on 01271 347225.
