Last year we supported over 4,200 patients and family members and received over 41,000 calls to the 24/7 SinglePoint advice line.
For families, the Hospice is a lifeline. It offers reassurance that their loved one will not face this journey alone. Skilled professionals provide pain relief, emotional support, and guidance, creating space for moments of love and connection that will be remembered forever.
St Helena’s 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.
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.
"To the wonderful SinglePoint team, I wanted to say a massive, heartfelt thank you for the care you gave to my mum. 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."
Large gifts, significantly impact our work and the lives for those under our care, for example:
£15,000 gift could fund a cuddle bed - a specially designed bed that allows loved ones to lie side by side, share a hug, and feel the warmth of closeness during life’s most tender moments. It’s more than a bed; it’s a space for love, comfort, and connection when it matters most.
£25,000 gift could keep our SinglePoint team and Rehabilitation team on the road, by covering the travel cost, to deliver care in people’s homes care around north east Essex for an entire year!
£56,000 This gift could fund our Inpatient Unit laundry and mattress cleaning costs for an entire year!
£80,000 gift could fund a Clinical Nurse Specialist to provide care in the community for an entire year!
