Covid-19 is affecting us all but Prospect Hospice remains operational in order to support the increasing number of our community needing end of life support. Here you'll find lots of information about the virus and information and advice that we think will help you at this time.
Prospect Hospice has been providing end of life care to the people of Swindon and north east Wiltshire for over 40 years. Find out more about where we've come from and who we are here.
Find out about the range of end-of-life care services that we offer to patients and their families. These are designed to provide compassionate, personalised support during every stage of a life-limiting illness in every kind of care setting, to anyone who needs it, free of charge.
We couldn’t do what we do without considerable support from our local community. Find out all the different ways in which you can support Prospect Hospice, including fundraising, volunteering and purchasing from our shops. All contributions are greatly appreciated.
Inevitably, people find themselves facing unfamiliar practical, financial and emotional difficulties. Our skilled and experienced Family Support Team can help.
We have an experienced team of social workers who help patients, their families and their carers to adjust emotionally and practically to the impact of their illness. Our expert team provides family support, advocacy, practical planning and children’s advice, either at the hospice or in patients’ homes. They can also offer guidance on legal issues such as wills, lasting powers of attorney and signposting on issues such as parental guardianship.
The team includes our family support assistants, whose role is to support families who may be anxious about money and how they will cope when faced with the challenges they face at an especially difficult time. They ensure that people understand the benefits they might be entitled to.
