We also help adults and children in north east Essex who have been bereaved, regardless of how or where their loved one died.

We support members of our community, helping them make their own choices and live with dignity. By focusing on their physical, emotional and spiritual needs, we aim to bring comfort and relief to all those who need it, offering the people of north east Essex individual care and total support, regardless of their diagnosis or personal circumstances.

Our support is provided where and when it is needed, whether at home, at the Hospice or over the phone through our 24/7 advice line, SinglePoint.

Only 27% of St Helena’s income comes from the NHS. That means 73% of the income needed to run St Helena is raised through the local community. That includes through people playing Your Hospice Lottery, giving donations, buying in St Helena shops, and leaving gifts in Wills. You can also raise vital funds for St Helena through supporting our commercial and social enterprise activities including our Total Clean in support of St Helena commercial cleaning business, The Creation Station in support of St Helena arts and crafts classes and our home care business, Radfield Home Care in support of St Helena .

We rely heavily on the help and generosity of our fundraisers, donors and volunteers. Without them we wouldn’t be here.

We all share a common goal: to be here for everyone who needs us, when they need us, helping life to go on in the face of dying, death and bereavement.
