Your philanthropic support makes this possible. With your help, we can ensure that no one spends their last days in fear or isolation in north east Essex. You are giving more than care—you are giving hope, comfort, and the profound gift of dignity.

Major gifts have the power to be truly transformational, shaping the future of our hospice and profoundly changing the lives of the people we care for, including their families. Through visionary support, they enable extraordinary impact, such as:

£3,600 could help our community patients keep independence, reduce discomfort and continue doing the things that matter most to them with rehabilitation equipment they need for an entire year! 

£10,000 could help Counselling and Emotional Support team to secure more free sessions provided to the community with our new Bereavement Cafes for another 9 months around northeast Essex. 

£24,000 could keep our SinglePoint team, Hospice in the Home and Rehabilitation teams on the road, by covering the travel cost, to deliver care in people’s homes care around northeast Essex for 6 months. 

£80,000 gift could fund a Clinical Nurse Specialist to provide care in the community for an entire year! Supporting people to remain at home, easing distress, and guiding families through some of the most challenging moments of their lives – day or night.

£113,000 could have an amazing impact, funding our medical costs - Pharmacy and Drug, Pathology and Pharmacist costs for an entire year! This would ensure that every patient receives the right medication, at the right time, with comfort and dignity at the heart of their care. It would mean pain and symptoms managed swiftly, families reassured, and precious moments protected when they matter most.

£360,000 Could fund one Inpatient Unit bed for an entire year! We currently have 8 beds funded but have capacity for 18 beds in total. The average stay last year was 11 days, therefore a gift of this magnitude could benefit approximately 33 patients to receive end of life and palliative care for their entire stay. Offering comfort, dignity and expert support during one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives, and precious reassurance to their families.
