About us

Our History

St Giles Hospice is a registered charity founded in 1983 by the Reverend Paul Brothwell, originally to improve the care of local people dying with cancer.

We now support patients, and their loved ones, living with a terminal illness. Our dedicated team provides individually-tailored care, free of charge, either at the hospice or in patients’ own homes across our communities.

We spend close to £10 million a year providing our specialist services. With just 18% of this funded by the Government, we rely heavily on donations and income generation from the local community.

Many things have changed over the past 40 years, but one thing has remained constant – the need for good end of life care.

The needs of our patients, their loved ones, and the local community we serve are evolving all the time and we recognise that we must adapt to help those who need us, when they need us most.

Aspiring for a world where

everyone has fair access to end of life care
