St. Francis Hospice
Our Charity Of Choice
Saint Francis Hospice is an independent charity and one of the largest adult hospices in the UK. Their team of specialist consultants, doctors, nurses and a range of other health and social care professionals provide care and support to individuals with a life-limiting illness, as well as their carers and family members, completely free of charge.
The hospice serves the populations of Havering, Brentwood, Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge and West Essex. This year, the hospice need to raise £7.8 million in voluntary income, so every donation from individuals and organisations is important to them. They also have a team of nearly 700 skilled and committed volunteers who help them keep our costs down and add huge value to the work they do.
