Garden House Hospice Care provides specialist palliative care for patients facing life-limiting illnesses, their families and carers, to enable them to have the best possible quality of life by providing care and support in the setting of their choice, without discrimination.

 

Serving a catchment area of 230,000 people in North Hertfordshire, including Letchworth Garden City, Stevenage, Hitchin, Baldock, Royston and surrounding villages, their team of highly-experienced doctors and nurses provide expert care through a number of services including a 12 bedded In-Patient Unit and 24/7 Hospice at Home service. The Hawthorne Centre provides a range of day services including gym sessions, complimentary therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, specialist workshops and sessions and spiritual care. The Hospice also supports patients and their families at a difficult time through Family Support Services and A Children and Young Peoples’ Bereavement Service caring for patients and their loved ones today, tomorrow and in the future.

 

All of Garden House Hospice Care’s services are given completely free of charge. This is only made possible through the ongoing generosity and goodwill of the community it serves. They must raise over £3.5 million every year to run their services to patients and their families in the local area.

 

In 2020 for each £1 entry in the weekly draw Local Hospice Lottery gave an average of 68p to hospice care. Garden House Hospice Care is one of a number of hospices throughout Great Britain supported by Local Hospice Lottery. Local Hospice Lottery will give between 55% and 80% of profits from individuals playing in support of Garden House Hospice Care to Garden House Hospice Care.

 

With the help of wonderful supporters like you, this is expected to be at least £800,000 over five years (from December 2017)!
