St Nicholas Hospice Care
St Nicholas Hospice Care is a welcoming place where those living with a life-limiting condition in West Suffolk and Thetford can get the specialist care and emotional and practical support they need. They also look after family and friends because when someone is facing the end of their life, it affects everyone around them.
It costs around £8 million to run the Hospice each year. They receive some statutory funding, which covers around 20% of their costs. Therefore, St Nicholas Hospice Care relies on the community’s goodwill to keep the Hospice running. By playing the Local Hospice Lottery, you are helping St Nicholas Hospice Care deliver this specialist palliative care with compassion, respect, and dignity.
