Our Vision Working in collaboration with our local community, we will strive for excellence and seek innovation in providing specialist, multi-professional, palliative care to patients, their families, and carers in the hospice and their own homes. All of our services are provided free of charge. We rely heavily on our generous donors and community fundraisers to allow us to continue providing our specialist care.
