Hospice Community Hub

Care where it counts - close to home

If you or someone you love is living with a life-limiting illness, we warmly invite you to join us at our Hospice Community Hub.

You don’t need to book, this is a free service, no referral needed, simply drop in to one of our hubs and you'll be made to feel right at home.

Open to adults living with a life-limiting illness, as well as their families and carers, our Hub offers:

  • Emotional support: someone to talk to who understands what you're going through.

  • Practical advice: guidance on managing symptoms, planning ahead, or accessing services.

  • Wellbeing activities: gentle, uplifting sessions such as art, crafting, relaxation, or simply sharing a cup of tea.

Whether you're adjusting to a diagnosis, navigating daily challenges, or simply looking for a moment of peace, the Hub is here to help you live well through every stage of your journey. 

We welcome anyone affected by a life-limiting illness, whether you are a patient, carer, family member or friend. You're free to come as you are, stay as long as you need, and take part in whatever feels right for you.

The Beacon Hub

The Hospice Community Hubs will offer wellbeing activities like crafting. Wayne, who has taken part in wellbeing groups run by the Hospice, said:

"I've found the groups to be very engaging, very thoughtful. And the people are kind. I wouldn't have met these people before, and yet we all live in the same city, maybe even walked past each other before. We all have a common denominator - we're all not well. I've made some nice friends in the group that I'll continue talking to and meeting up with. It's not the end; it's just the beginning."
