The care and support received from St Columba's Hospice enabled Luke to stay in the comfort and familiarity of his own home until the very end, which is what he always wanted. It enabled Laura and his friends and family to spend unlimited time with him in a relaxed way.

St Columba’s Hospice Care provides palliative and end-of-life care for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families. They are an independent charity at the heart of the local community and have been offering free, flexible and person-centred care and support to patients and their families for over 40 years.
