Make a major gift

Your generosity will make a significant impact on the care we provide for our patients and their families. As individual philanthropists, grant-making trusts and foundations, you play a pivotal role in funding our work. 

Make an extraordinary impact locally

Our ambition is to develop and extend our services to meet the demand. We often have a waiting list for our beds on the Hospice ward. With an ageing population and medical advances, people are living much longer with increasingly complex medical and care needs. But with only a small percentage of our funding coming from the NHS, to meet this increasing demand, we need your help.


If you are a trustee or have links with a charitable trust, foundation or other voluntary funding body, or would personally like to make a difference to people in our community, please help us.

"Knowing we are helping other people has given us a meaning to keep going."


Ria was 23 when she was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour. She raised £170,000 to get specialist immunotherapy treatment in Germany, but sadly, she became too unwell to finish the treatment and died aged 25. 


Her sister Kaz said, "When Ria died we wanted the money to go to places that helped Ria and Saint Francis Hospice was one of those places. It's wonderful to know more patients and families like us will benefit from the improvements to the garden."
