That’s more people than we’ve ever cared for before and we are only able to be there for local families at the most difficult times of their lives because of the generosity, kindness and support of people like you.
You can read more about the difference you are making to local people, directly from the people you have helped, in our latest Impact Report.
The stories you’ll read are a testament to the value of your support in bringing light into the darkest moments.
St Helena is an independent charity, providing our services free of charge. Did you know, only 20% of our income comes from the NHS? That means more than 80% of the income we need to run St Helena is raised through the local community giving donations, buying in our shops, paying for care from Radfield Home Care in support of St Helena, playing Your Hospice Lottery, and leaving gifts in Wills.
Against a backdrop of an aging population, we want to reach everyone who needs us, not just in the last year of life, but in the last phase of life.
With costs of care increasing and the population growing, our services are more in demand than ever, so it is essential we raise more vital funds to maintain our high quality services, today and for future generations.
You play such an important role in helping us achieve our vision. We are only here because of the incredible ways you support us, from donating, fundraising and playing our lottery; to volunteering, visiting our shops and paying for care from our Radfield Home Care service.
Without you, St Helena Hospice simply will not be here in the future to support the people you love through the most difficult time of their lives. Thank you.

Go to the shop finderWhen you make a donation to St Helena Hospice, we are charged transactional fees by other companies, including fees for processing payments made to us, looking up addresses and validating bank account details.
We are very grateful to our donors who offer to offset some of these fees with a minor addition to their total amount. This is however completely optional and we are very grateful for your support whether or not you choose to contribute to processing fees.
CloseWe are able to claim an extra 25p on every £1 on your donation amount for no extra cost to you, as long as you are a UK tax payer; have paid enough income tax or capital gains tax in that tax year; and are donating your own money. If you pay less income tax and/or capital gains tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations in that tax year it is your responsibility to pay any difference.
