Help Us Bring Dignity and Comfort to Patients at Home

Can you help Macmillan Caring Locally's appeal to fund our Hospice at Home service, providing patients with the dignity, comfort, and choice to spend their final days at home. Introduced in 2022, this service offers clinical-led care, allowing patients with complex symptoms to receive expert support from specialists in the comfort of their own homes, rather than in a hospital or the Macmillan Unit Hospice.

Every year, our dedicated teams care for over 2,200 individuals facing life-limiting illnesses in our community. With your support, we can continue to offer this specialised care to those who wish to remain at home during their final days. Your generosity today ensures this vital choice remains available tomorrow—for your neighbours, your loved ones, and perhaps someday, for you.

The support we need

The Hospice urgently needs your support to continue delivering this essential service, helping more local people die with dignity and the choice to be cared for at home. Your contributions ensure this vital service remains available for our communities today, tomorrow and the future.

Did you know? "In 2024, our Hospice at Home service made 2,734 home visits, providing compassionate care to those in need."

Hospice at Home matters

With your support, more families can cherish precious moments together, and more patients can fulfil their final wish of passing away in the loving comfort of home.

You matter because you are you. You matter to the last moment of your life, and we will do all we can, not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live fully until you die.

When someone you love receives a life-limiting diagnosis, everyday moments can be overshadowed by medical concerns. Our Hospice at Home team steps in to manage the complex aspects of care, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—being present with each other. We handle the medical needs so you can simply be a family again.

What people say:

“If it hadn’t been for your team, our only other option would have been for David to go into a hospice - he was so much happier being in a loving, home environment. I don’t think ‘thank you’ quite says enough for the gratitude we have for your team.”

“During her last few weeks, all of our 13 grandchildren were able to come and spend some time with her. Myself and all our five children were with her until the very end. This would not have been possible without the wonderful service you provide.
