"Once Bob died, they didn’t just disappear. They continued to be empathetic when everyone else moved on. They understood we were still grieving.”
"They made sure the man I knew kept all the dignity he had always had, as a real gentleman, intact. Priceless.”
"You don’t know what will happen in life, but I know that with St Margaret’s there to help it will be much better than if they weren’t.”

By choosing to leave a gift to St Margaret’s Hospice, you can make a real difference to the lives of future patients and their families.
“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.”
"There's no judgment... Everybody's easy-going, and we have a bit of a giggle. One of the reasons I enjoy coming is because I get to socialise and just generally meet nice people."
“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."
