Updates about our hospice, as well as testimonies about our care from families, patients and friends.
"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."
"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.”
"Some days I can do things, other days I can’t. That’s why Sunflower Centre has meant so much to me."
"The team has helped me to accept my illness and empowered me so I can live as well as I can, for as long as I can.”
“The only way I can describe St Margaret’s is that it was an oasis of calmness for us all at an extremely difficult time."
"When you’re living with a terminal illness, you are so focused on your illness that you don’t really get to have ‘me time’, but the Sunflower Centre gives that to you. You are just yourself in there, not somebody’s Mum or somebody’s wife but just you."
