The charity helps people face incurable illness and bereavement, supporting them and their families, friends and carers. It also helps children and adults who are facing bereavement, reaching out to members of our community and bringing comfort and relief to those who need it most. The hospice’s invaluable work - chronicled in pictures over the next four pages - is now being recorded in a special online archive. The historical record is being supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players.
