Philanthropy

Philanthropy gives St Helena Hospice a secure future. It allows us to continue providing support to patients and families during life’s most challenging times.

Last year we supported over 4,200 individual and family members and received over 41,000 calls to the 24/7 SinglePoint advice line. 

St Helena Hospice believes everyone living with an incurable illness has the right to live and die with choice, compassion and dignity. Families deserve to be cared for and anyone coping with loss should be supported through their grief.

Our vision is to create a community where everyone knows that at the end of their life they will be cared for and die where they choose to be; where loved ones have the opportunity to make the most of life together, surrounded by a community that cares and supports one another.

By donating a major gift you have the power to make an incredible impact on your community and the end of life care and bereavement support available for local people.

"To the wonderful SinglePoint team, I wanted to say a massive, heartfelt thank you for the care you gave to my mum. Over the years and in her final days/weeks, before she passed away in the Hospice. Mum was so appreciative of your support and being available at the end of the phone day and night. You are all so kind and caring. I would like to personally thank you for the support and advice you have given me during this time. You are all truly the best!"

"Many of you will be aware that today we had a Wedding Ceremony/Celebration at Myland Hall. One of the party as they were leaving this evening asked me to pass on their thanks to all the staff here for a fantastic day and how much it was appreciated."

"To the nurses and staff at St Helena Hospice, we are so very grateful to you all for the loving care you took of our dear father. You were there for him and all the family for the 2 weeks he was here. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, love, support and endless hugs in those difficult days. We will remember you as the angels you truly are for what you do."

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.
