Hand in hand we care
Who we are and what we do
​
St Clare Hospice is a charity providing specialist palliative care to improve the lives of people affected by a life-limiting illness in West Essex and the borders of East Hertfordshire. Our approach to care enables people, their families, and carers, to make the most of every moment together, no matter how long they have left to live, supporting them whether at home or in the Hospice.
​
With limited NHS funding, we need to raise around 56% of our costs each year to provide our vital services; in 2020/2021 our costs were £4.6 million and are forecast to rise to over £5m next year. We therefore rely on our local community to help us raise money each year so we can continue being there for local families facing one of the most difficult journeys in life.
Our care

We offer a range of free, palliative and end of life care services to suit the needs of all local people who are facing death, dying and bereavement.
