Simon’s Story
“St Margaret’s offers so much more than end-of-life care. The level of care and excellence in every aspect is unmatched, and people locally don’t realise how fortunate they are to have it.”
Updates about our hospice, as well as testimonies about our care from families, patients and friends.

“If you’re living with a terminal diagnosis or are supporting someone who does and are worried about using the hospice’s services, my advice would be to not worry and to go for it. The hospice is absolutely fantastic."
"I wasn’t sure what to expect when visiting the Sunflower Day Centre, but everyone was so lovely; the other patients made you feel like you were part of their family. Now, every time I go there, I try to stay as long as possible."
"You all lifted a weight off of our shoulders and gave us time to be a family, to enjoy our time with him and find our joy.”
They took us in, showed us our room, said ‘this is a cuddle bed’, and showed us how it worked – as a single bed that folded out to a double. It was the first time we were all able to cuddle Julie properly since April 2021. It was lovely.
"We all knew Kevin was with us and was laughing, saying we were really living, and he was proud of us."
"There’s no one else who could have given me and my family the time, support and care they’ve provided."
"They treated Kayleigh with such dignity throughout her illness and carried this through to her death."
"Volunteering at the shop makes me feel proud and good about myself as it feels great to give back to the hospice when they’ve done so much for my family."
