Who we are

St Joseph’s Hospice first opened in 1905 and since then has been caring for and supporting people affected by serious illness. We try to improve the quality of life for people with life-limiting conditions and help them live life to the full, to the very end. Supporting families and carers is also an important part of what we do.

What we do

We care for people living in North and East London and our hospice services include:

• palliative care
• nursing and medical care
• emotional support
• practical advice
• physical and psychological therapies
• spiritual care
• social and creative activities.
  Our staff are experts in caring for people who have life-limiting conditions or who are coming to the end of their life, and in supporting families and carers.

Why we need you

Last year St Joseph’s Hospice helped over 1,700 people. It costs £14 million each year to run our hospice services and we receive 50% of this from the government – for the rest, we are dependent upon the generosity and goodwill of our local community. It means we have to raise over £19,000 each day to run our services. St Joseph’s Hospice urgently needs your gifts of time and money to help us keep our services available to people who need our help at one of the most difficult times in their lives.
