At Prospect Hospice, we provide outstanding, personalised and compassionate care for everyone in Swindon, Marlborough and the surrounding areas affected by a life-limiting illness, completely free of charge. For more than 40 years, we’ve been a dedicated, non-hospital, end-of-life care service for patients and their loved ones - around the clock, every day of the year. 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.
Many of us haven’t been able to see our friends and family this year so a local charity has come up with a number of ways for us all to meet virtually and support their vital work in our community.
Join Together January brings a new idea each week for family and friends to come together and keep in touch while supporting end of life care across Swindon and north east Wiltshire.
Kicking off on 4 January, local people will be encouraged to host a virtual quiz and the charity has everything you need to run your own event over Zoom with family and friends – no Google allowed! Throughout the month you could also enjoy a night of bingo, a murder mystery evening and, to end, a cookery Masterclass with head chef Dan from Dan’s at the Crown, Marlborough for you, your family and friends to enjoy.
Abby Benson, community and events fundraiser at the hospice, said: “We know it’s been really difficult over the last year for people to see each other and share special moments so we wanted to create a way for family and friends to come together and share some fun to start the new year in a positive way. We’ve come up with four ways that people can do that enabling them to do something each week which brings them together to catch up and help raise a little money for the hospice too.”
Everything you need to create your fun evening can be found on the charity’s website page. All the hospice asks is that you set up an online fundraising page that people can donate to when taking part if they wish.
