The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileWe provide specialist palliative care to improve the lives of, and provide comfort to, babies, children and adults with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses.
We care for adults in our adult In-Patient Unit, Somerton House and out in the community in homes across Northern Ireland.
Somerton House is a modern, welcoming and comfortable space for patients with specialist palliative needs. We have 18 individual patient bedrooms.
Our multi-professional team of specialists help patients to live well and in comfort as they manage their complex symptoms, as well as any unresolved social, emotional and spiritual issues as they approach the end of life.
At Hospice we see family and friends as an integral part of care and support, helping everyone adjust before and after bereavement.
We also support people when they leave Hospice and return home with a comprehensive care package in place that has been developed for the needs of each individual.
We have eight teams of Specialist Community Nurses that deliver care across Northern Ireland. These nursing teams support our patients and their families by working closely with GPs and District Nurses to identify each person’s needs and develop personalised care plans.
Our Hospice at Home Service provides one-to-one nursing care during the day, evening, or night to allow family members to have a break and look after their own well-being.
We are the only Children’s Hospice in Northern Ireland. Specialist palliative care is provided for children of all ages, with a life-limiting illness.
Caring for a child with a serious illness can be extremely difficult and isolating; Hospice services are a lifeline for many local families. At Horizon House, the Children’s In-Patient Unit, families can come for Supported Short Breaks, allowing them to spend time together without the constant worry and stress of clinical care. Care can also be provided in the family home, giving parents support, medical advice and hands-on care, allowing them to do the very simple things most people take for granted - like take a shower.
Every day our specialist team supports parents who are facing the unthinkable, the death of their child. We continue to support the family in the months and years after their bereavement.
As a local charity, most of our funding comes from the generosity of local businesses and individuals. We need to raise funds so that we can continue to deliver this specialist care across Northern Ireland.
