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.

‘I have signed up to the spring run because I wanted to raise money for such a great cause. Prospect Hospice is such a great charity and so close to my family’s hearts. They were fantastic in looking after my partners aunty and making her so comfortable that my family and I do whatever we can to help raise as much money for them so they can support other people who need that support that we received. I hope to raise more before the event’.
The money you raise will go towards ensuring local people continue to receive free end of life care. People like Alisa and her family.
“The thing we found equally important, though, was the way Prospect Hospice understood and cared about us children, too. It can be traumatising to have to provide very personal care to your own parents, but they understood that and helped us be their children again, rather than their carers. They enabled us all to reclaim dignity, and they also enabled us to cry about the whole situation. That meant so much.”
