St Helena Hospice is a Colchester based charity, which provides specialist palliative and end of life care to local people facing incurable illness in north east essex, supporting them and their families, friends, and carers.
St Helena offers individual care and total support to anyone who needs it. They help local people make their own choices and live with dignity, regardless of diagnosis or personal circumstances.
Only 20 percent of our funding comes from the NHS, the rest is raised from the generosity and support of people like you.
By playing the lottery you are helping St Helena Hospice support people like Caitlin and her family.
Sadly, there are local people dying without the end of life care they need. More of your loved ones will die in hospital, instead of their preferred place of care, such as the Hospice or at home.
Everyone facing the end of life deserves to receive the expert and compassionate care St Helena offers. The hospice can only reach the increasing number of seriously ill people who need them with your support.
Most of the income needed to run St Helena is raised through the local community. That includes through people playing Your Hospice Lottery, giving donations, buying in St Helena shops, and leaving gifts in Wills. You can also raise vital funds for St Helena through supporting their commercial and social enterprise activities including their cleaning and home care businesses.
St Helena Hospice needs your help now, so they can be there for the people you love.
Please play Your Hospice Lottery.
