Hospice of the Valleys

Hospice of the Valleys is a registered charity that cares for over 750 patients every year in the Blaenau Gwent and South Wales Valleys area. Their team of specialist palliative care professionals are dedicated to providing hospice care; taking care not only of people’s physical needs, but also providing for their psychological, spiritual and social needs. Their mission is to deliver free, high quality care for patients in their community suffering life limiting illnesses, and comprehensive support for their families throughout treatment, end of life care and bereavement. The money raised by people taking part in the Local Hospice Lottery helps to fund these essential services and enables Hospice of the Valleys to keep caring for local families, when and where they need it most.
