St Christopher's offers world class palliative and end of life care to everyone who needs it, whenever or wherever that may be.

We passionately believe in the words of our founder, Dame Cicely Saunders, who said: “You matter because you are you and you matter until the last moment of your life.” That means we listen to people's stories, adapt our treatments and advice to suit their particular needs, and don’t stop until we can give the best possible support.

The hospice is a friendly, vibrant place, and as unlike a traditional hospital as we can make it. But rest assured, the medical and nursing care is excellent and all our teams are highly professional and devoted to doing their best for people.

However, as we often say, we’re more than just a hospice. We are proud of our community programmes that offer practical, emotional and spiritual support to over 7,500 people in the local area, most of whom we will help to continue living at home.
