Hospice in the Home: Abi Harris

Hospice in the Home Staff story Tendring

Looking after people in their own homes gives them a forum to discuss their concerns and worries in a safe environment.

Being at home allows them to have their own relaxed space to have difficult conversations. We’re supporting people in their individual ways to be in the place they want to be at the end of their lives.

I enjoy meeting different people from different backgrounds and supporting people in their individual ways. It’s an honour to be invited into someone’s home and community and to listen to them. 

Abi Harris, clinical nurse specialist

Processing fees

When 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.
