Who We Are

We are the foremost provider of specialist palliative care to the London Boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley. Our services cover an area of 40 square miles and a population of over 500,000 and has areas of wealth and extreme deprivation.

Our staff and volunteers care for adult patients with a wide variety of chronic and terminal conditions. Most patients also have informal carers, all of whom can also access support to enable them to care for their loved one. Last year, we cared for over 2,500 patients and families and were supported by many more members of the community through donations, legacies, trusts and at our many fundraising events.

The Hospice does not charge for its services and only about one third of our funding comes from the NHS, which means that we depend on the generosity of, mostly local, individuals, trusts, organisations and businesses to raise more than 4 million pounds annually so that we can continue to provide care to people when it matters most.  

The growth in our Hospice services over the last 3 years has been tremendous, with provision of care and support now spanning across the whole patient journey. These developments have all been in response to patient need. The Hospice has moved from a service which focuses on care delivery in a building, to one which provides care in whatever setting it is required; this includes care in individual people's homes, care homes, hospital and at the Hospice in Abbey Wood.

We rely on your generosity to continue our work, please help us to raise urgently needed funds.  Thank you for your support.
