ST FRANCIS HOSPICE

Saint Francis Hospice cares 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As a charity, it relies on financial help and support from the community to give specialist care and services, free of charge, to patients, their families and carers.

It is a registered charity which was founded on Christian principles to offer specialist care to patients who have cancer or other life-limiting illnesses.

They care for adults of any age, race, sexuality, religion or ethical belief and, although they must rely on voluntary donations for a large proportion of our running costs, they make no charge to patients, their families or carers.

Their aim is to alleviate suffering which may be physical, emotional, social and spiritual, in order to give patients the best quality of life possible, however long that life may be.
