St Joseph's Hospice provides specialist care for people with terminal illnesses, their families and the bereaved across east and north east London

Our team of doctors, nurses, therapists, chaplains and social workers care for people of all races and religions, applying their combined skills not only to the relief of pain, but also to allay fears and restore a sense of dignity. Our care is delivered in the in-patient, day care and home settings. We provide symptom control, respite care, continuing care and terminal care. Our approach to care is holistic, and the physical, social, psychological and spiritual needs of the patients are central to the care we offer, as well as the ongoing support of carers and relatives. Each year we care for some 750 people here in the hospice in central Hackney, support around 800 people living with terminal illness in their own homes and our bereavement services support more than 500 friends and family members whose loved ones have died.

Why choose St Josephs Hospice
We believe that people are entitled to a comfortable, pain free death, supported by individualised care and surrounded by loved ones. In order to deliver this service to those who need us most we have to raise almost £18,000 each day to remain open. â€œI was lost before I came here. I appreciate everything. They make me feel at home and like you're one of the family. They show you love and treat everyone the same. They're wonderful.â€ Hospice inpatient. Your support has a direct and immediate affect on hundreds of patients and relatives who are currently dealing with the many complex issues around living with a terminal illness. We cannot do this without you and the impact of your support will be felt for many years to come.
