About Building for Tomorrow

Since our building opened 40 years ago, our community’s needs have changed. People are living longer, often managing multiple complex conditions. Simultaneously, we are seeing more young people whose conditions went undiagnosed during the pandemic. As a result, demand for our services is at an all-time high. Our models of care have adapted and advanced, our facilities and structures have fallen behind.

The care delivered is world class, but is no longer matched by our facilities. The time has come to ensure our building is brought back in line with our care.

Why rebuild?

Having not been significantly altered for 30 years, our Inpatient Unit is now outdated and unable to offer the peace and tranquillity that sets our hospice care apart.  

Our Inpatient Unit needs to be redeveloped

• 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 and overnight stays 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.  

• No private entrance - up until now our patients have had to be transported through the building's main reception.

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.  

With your help we can build it for every important second, every special memory and every precious goodbye.

How much do we need to raise?

The total building project will cost £10.3 million  

We have already raised just over £8 million through a mixture of major donors, trusts and private sponsors as well as some government funding. 

Now we are asking for the support of our community to help raise the final £2 million needed to complete the rebuild and open an Inpatient Unit that's fit for the future.
