Prospect Hospice has been providing end of life care to the people of Swindon and north east Wiltshire for over 40 years. Find out more about where we've come from and who we are here.
Find out about the range of end-of-life care services that we offer to patients and their families. These delivered free of charge and 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 do what we do without considerable support from our local community. Find out all the different ways in which you can support Prospect Hospice, including fundraising, volunteering and purchasing from our shops. All contributions are greatly appreciated and enables us to deliver care that is free of charge to our patients and their families.
With Prospect Hospice needing the support of its local community to deliver our services, we decided that in 2018 we would proactively link up with more of our community partners to help and support more people through volunteering.
With great links in place already with the Volunteer Centre in Swindon, we have this year been able to help several people through the Building Bridges programme that offers people the opportunity to gain confidence and skills to move towards the world of work.
We have also successfully introduced four volunteers into our shop and distribution network via Swindon Borough Council’s Health and Social care programme and the momentum is really building in this area.
Barbara from our Distribution Centre (pictured above) said: “We have a number of roles for people to do, but we always offer a taster session first, so they can come along and try things before committing to a regular shift.”
