About us

St Clare Hospice is a charity providing specialist palliative care to improve the lives of people affected by a life-limiting illness in West Essex and the borders of East Hertfordshire. Our care helps patients, their families, and carers, to make the most of every moment together, no matter how long they have left to live. We support them at home and in the Hospice. 

With limited NHS funding, we need to raise over 60% of our annual costs to provide our vital services; our running costs are forecast to rise to over £6 million in the next year. We therefore rely on our local community to help us raise money each year so we can continue being there for local families facing one of the most difficult journeys in life.

We need to raise more than £8,500 every single day to cover all our costs.
