Support our Urgent Care Appeal! Every donation counts, helping us bring comfort to those with life-limiting illnesses. As demand rises, our funds are stretched thin due to rising costs and limited government funding. Join us in making a difference: stmichaelshospice.org.uk/urgent-care-ap… 💙
From the very first breath to the final moments, nursing staff are there for us.
Watch, share and join us in saying thank you to nursing staff everywhere.

Talking about dying might include making a plan for end of life and the type of care you want to receive.
Advance care planning supports people to think ahead about what's most important to them, and we're pleased to support the first ever #ACPDay2024 .

Sadly, we're supporting more families with young children. Talking to children about dying is a delicate conversation, but it's essential for their understanding and emotional well-being. In support of #DyingMattersAwareness , we wanted to share some tips to guide you.
Meet Wendy and Chris, their story shows the power of compassionate care. It shows the importance of our end-of-life services, providing comfort when needed most. Help us bridge the gap in funding. Donate to our Urgent Care Appeal: stmichaelshospice.org.uk/urgent-care-ap…
