About Us
Every life is precious
The Hospice of St Francis is here to help people live their precious lives well. Our free care has many meanings and is defined by each person's need, needs that may change many times. We care for the whole person or family unit for however long we are needed - days, weeks, months or years.
We love what we do and we love your support too. Volunteering, sharing stories from your precious life, shopping with us, taking part in a fundraising challenge or simply donating to us, from coins in a home box to leaving a gift in your Will, all helps us raise over £5 million annually to fund our free care. Every penny is needed to do what we do.
