This is Hospice Care
For a second year, we’re proud to stand with hospices across England, Scotland and Wales to secure the future of hospice care. Gifts left in Wills enable us to care for 1 in every 7 patients, helping us be there when families need dignity, comfort and compassion most.
Please consider leaving a Gift in your Will – and help hospice care live on.
A new issue of Life Magazine
Our Hospice magazine, Life, is published three times a year, sharing news from the Hospice and stories from the amazing people who make St Joseph’s such a special place.
This issue includes:
