St Giles Hospice is a registered charity founded in 1983 by the Reverend Paul Brothwell, originally to improve the care of local people dying with cancer. We now support patients, and their loved ones, living with a terminal illness. Our dedicated team provides individually-tailored care, free of charge, either at the hospice or in patients own homes across our communities. We spend close to £10 million a year providing our specialist services.

With just 18% of this funded by the Government, we rely heavily on donations and income generation from the local community.
