St Christopher's Hospice

Our vision is of a world in which all dying people and those close to them have access to appropriate care and support, when they need it, wherever they need it and whoever they are.

We serve a diverse population of 1.5 million people in the London boroughs of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark, reaching some of England’s most deprived areas.

It costs over £14 million every year to deliver all our services. Only about one third of our income comes from the NHS. We must raise more than £9 million to continue to deliver our patient and family services free of charge and to run our extensive programmes of practice innovation, research and education.

Throughout its history, St Christopher’s has been a pioneer in end of life care and has raised standards of care internationally through evaluated pilot projects, research and education. Today we are one of the largest providers of end of life care training and support in the world.
