Suzanne & Holly’s Story
"Once Bob died, they didn’t just disappear. They continued to be empathetic when everyone else moved on. They understood we were still grieving.”
Updates about our hospice, as well as testimonies about our care from families, patients and friends.
"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.”
“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."
"It is a great pleasure to me to give a little back to the hospice movement which gives families practical advice and comfort when they most need it.”
“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."
Alison’s strength and dedication to St Margaret’s is truly inspiring, and we are honoured to have her as part of our hospice community.
"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."
