Wakefield Hospice
Thanks to the support of the Wakefield community (and beyond) Wakefield Hospice has been caring for local families since 1990. The hospice team is committed to providing the highest level of support for people who have advanced, active and progressive life-threatening illnesses in Wakefield. As well as caring for the individual, support is also given to family and friends during the time of illness and into bereavement.
Your lottery membership will help to fund some of the services outlined below:
- END OF LIFE CARE – Wakefield Hospice has eight single en-suite bedrooms and two four-bedded bays. Doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and a social worker all work together to give patients the highest quality of care during their stay.
- THE SEYMOUR SUITE – offers day therapy support including group sessions, counselling services, art, music and complementary therapies.
- BEREAVEMENT SERVICES – are given to family and friends affected by the loss of their loved one. Specialist support is also given to children when needed.
- ADDITIONAL SERVICES – such as domestics and facilities ensure that the hospice is kept clean and well maintained. Our chefs provide freshly cooked meals to ensure that patients receive the nourishment they need during their stay.
How playing the Local Hospice Lottery helps Wakefield Hospice
