I would like to find out about

Care and support when you need it most

Our dedicated team of nurses, doctors, and therapists deliver free, high quality, compassionate end-of-life care and support to patients, their families and carers.

We only receive 22% of our funding from the NHS, the rest is raised thanks to the generosity and kindness of our community. Take a look at how you can support us too.

Appeal

Light up a Life

Grief doesn’t follow a calendar, and love doesn’t end when someone leaves us.

This season is filled with warmth and togetherness, but when you are missing someone you love, the chill in the air can feel a little deeper, and the empty chair at the table a little more poignant. That is why we want to warmly invite you to join us for this year’s Light up a Life by making a dedication in memory of someone special.

Bereavement services

The death of someone significant can be one of the most challenging and painful life experiences we face. Grief is often described as a roller coaster of emotions and it can be hard to make sense of our feelings and reactions and see a way forward after a loss.

“

St. Michael’s became a comforting place for our family – a home-from-home. Our girls were able to see that the Hospice was a warm and caring place, a place that helped their dad feel better and that just because he went into the Hospice, didn’t mean he was not going to come back out.
