What we do

For more than 40 years St Margaret’s Hospice Care has been helping patients, families and carers across Somerset facing a life-limiting illness.

A hub where you can access a range of specialist support through our Day Services

Our Sunflower Day Centres provide support for patients who are well enough to live at home but would like to take advantage of the specialist support St Margaret's can offer during the day.

Helping young families face the loss of a parent

Our Family Support Service provides support for families with young children and teenagers both during the patient's illness and after bereavement.

Knowing support and advice is on the end of the phone, 24 hours a day.

The Adviceline can be accessed by anyone - including patients, carers, family members and healthcare professionals. You do not have to be known to St Margaret's to use the service.

Receiving specialist care at home to support me

Whether in their own home, or in community settings, our specialist nursing Community Team provide care across the whole of Somerset.

Being able to share my experiences with people who know how I feel

Our support groups offer a confidential, friendly, informal and non-clinical environment for people to talk, either individually with trained volunteers or in a group with those who have experience of life-limiting illnesses.
