Our mission is to ensure that anyone can access the best possible expert care whenever and wherever they need it – whether at the hospice or in their own home. As a charity, we only exist because of the generosity and support of our amazing local community.

Prospect Hospice is the leading provider of education and training for end-of-life care in Swindon and north Wiltshire. Working closely with you, our colleagues within partner organisations, we want to ensure that the very best care is available to everyone facing the end of life. This is why we provide education and development opportunities, all of which aim to encourage learning and build confidence in end of life care and support.
The Bereavement Help Point is a community-based drop-in service where all people who are bereaved are welcome. You don’t need to have had any prior experience or relationship with Prospect Hospice. It’s a safe and comfortable space to meet and talk with others experiencing similar thoughts and feelings. We hope that it will enable you to nurture relationships and create friendship networks, offering support whenever you need it.
We currently hold our Bereavement Help Points at the Castle and Ball Hotel in Marlborough.
We run Bereavement Help Points on the last Thursday of every month from 2pm to 3.30pm, starting on Thursday 28 September 2023.
They are facilitated by volunteers who have received training at Prospect Hospice. Some sessions may also be attended and/or facilitated by Prospect Hospice staff.
