Hospice of the Good Shepherd supports patients in Chester, Cheshire West, Ellesmere Port and Deeside who are facing a life-limiting illness. The Hospice's dedicated team of staff and healthcare professionals aim to meet the unique physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of those with a life-limiting illness, and help to maintain their dignity. They provide specialist palliative care for people with cancer and non-cancer life-limiting illnesses, at all stages of their illness. The Hospice is not just focused on the patients. They recognise that its also a difficult time for relatives, carers and friends and provide support for them too. Hospice of the Good Shepherd receive only 24% government funding meaning the remaining amount of the £11,000 a day running costs needs to be raised by fundraising events such as Chester Sparkle Walk. Any donations will go towards the Hospice making a difference to our patients and local community.
