Nottinghamshire Hospice

Nottinghamshire Hospice is committed to ensuring the best possible care for Nottingham residents with a life limiting illness, and to giving respite and support to their carers.

We provide the Care Services for our community from the Daycare facility in the heart of Nottingham, and through our Hospice at Home service within the patients’ own homes. Our primary aim is to provide ever improving, free professional Daycare and Homecare for all patients over the age of eighteen, in order that patients may live their lives as fully as possible and be able to die with peace and dignity.

Nottinghamshire Hospice was established in 1980 and has grown to serve its local community in meeting the palliative care needs of adults who are in the latter stages of any advanced progressive illness.

It aims to provide its services free of charge to enable patients to live their lives as fully as possible, and to be able to die with peace and dignity. Our facilities and services include:

  • Medical and nursing support
  • Physiotherapy
  • Complementary therapies
  • Counselling
  • Carers’ groups
  • Arts and crafts
  • Music therapy
  • Day trips

Between April 2007 and March 2008 the caseload for the Hospice at Home team was 1,018 patients of which a total of 19,705 hours of care were delivered. The Hospice Daycare service also had a caseload of 3,189 patients, delivering a total of 12,756 hours of care.

The cost of running Nottingham’s only voluntary Hospice will, this year, be approximately £2.4 million. Of this, only 25% comes from statutory services: the remainder has to be raised from donations, fundraising events, our Hospice Lottery and the retail activities of our charity shops.
