About Building For Tomorrow

We are about to embark on one of the most ambitious projects undertaken since our hospice was built in the early 1990s.

In the three decades since our hospice building was opened in Finchley, much has changed. The numbers of people requiring our help has increased and as the population grows and ages, their needs have become broader, multi-faceted and more complicated.  

Whilst our models of care have adapted and advanced, our facilities and structures have not.  

Our Inpatient Unit needs to be redeveloped

We want everyone to come into our hospice and feel as calm and held as possible and we know the environment contributes greatly to achieving this.  

Having not been significantly altered for 30 years, our Inpatient Unit is now outdated and unable to offer the peace and tranquillity that sets our hospice care apart from others.  

Our rooms are small and make it difficult for staff to bring equipment to patients and complicates the delivery of clinical and personal care. The size also severely limits the number of visitors that can comfortably share the space at one time and makes wheelchair accessibility challenging.

Some rooms have more privacy than others and some rooms do not have direct access to our gardens or courtyard. Our rooms have no air conditioning meaning that in the summer they can become stiflingly hot.  

We are immensely proud of the care we provide for our patients and wider community every year. However, our building is now holding us back. Our patients and their loved ones deserve better.  

We need to build for tomorrow.
