How you can help others to plan ahead

You can help others plan ahead by raising awareness of the My Care Choices Register – a record of a person’s decisions about the kind of care they wish to receive in the future, if they were more unwell, and their preference for the place of care. We work with other local health and social care partners to promote this to people who are living with an incurable illness, dementia or frailty.

Everything End of Life podcast

We recommend listening to this inspiring podcast, dedicated to talking to experts and others about all aspects of death and dying. You know, that thing we don’t really want to talk about! As a hospice carer and former psychiatric nurse, as well as writer and former theatre director, Jason Cattrell invites guests to talk about their roles and what to expect in the last four weeks of life. 

What happens to the person dying, what help is there, what to do before and after the event. Many families we see have one thing in common, and that is that they don’t know what to expect. Jason thought that a podcast may help. The podcast also explores many other topics, such as alternative funerals, what do hospices actually do? What role does religion play?

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.
