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, free of charge.
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.

We couldn’t do all that we do without you
Our ability to be able to care for the patients and families we meet each year is largely dependent on the support we receive from our community. Put simply, we couldn’t do all that we do without you.

Steve and Chris speak of the care their dad received at Prospect Hospice
Our lottery has a weekly top prize of £1,000. We had an average of 10,642 players per week between 1st April 2017 and 31st March 2018 and we celebrated with 1,456 lucky prize winners.
In 2017/18 our legacy income was £1.2million. This equated to 75% of all the costs to run our In-Patient unit at the hospice in Wroughton.
During 2017/18 3,349 people took part in or attended Prospect Hospice organised events. We also supported 145 fundraising activities organised by our local community in aid of the hospice.
