Find out about the wide 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.
We couldn’t manage without considerable support from our local community. Learn about all the different ways in which you can help Prospect Hospice, for example by taking part in fundraising events, playing our lottery, or remembering us in your will. All contributions are greatly appreciated.

A significant amount of Prospect Hospice’s income is raised through our charity shops. The success of our retail operation depends on the generous support of the local community (donating and buying goods), and the commitment of our managers and volunteers. Find out more here.
Complementary therapies work alongside other treatments, and promote a sense of wellbeing that many patients say can make coping with the anxieties and uncertainty of their illness a little easier to bear. We are often told that they can also help improve sleep and ease aches and pains.
Our complementary therapists are all volunteers and are qualified practitioners, working alongside our patient care teams. The treatments most commonly used are aromatherapy, a gentle massage using essential oils, and reflexology, which is a specialised form of massage which applies gentle pressure to points on your hands and feet.
Treatments are available to patients attending Day Hospice and as outpatient appointments for both patients and carers.
If you would to benefit from our complementary therapies, speak with your Prospect Nurse Specialist.
