DESCRIPTION

St Richard’s Hospice provides free specialist palliative care for patients living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses and supports their families. Each year the hospice team supports over 2,600 patients and family members in Worcestershire. Patients are cared for in Day Hospice, the 17-bed In-patient Unit or in their own homes by a specialist professional team as well as many trained volunteers. In the In-patient Unit specialist staff are on hand 24 hours a day to manage patients’ symptoms and where, if they so choose, patients may spend the last few days of life in comfort and dignity. St Richard’s is an independent charity and is grateful for all donations to help them to continue their work.
