St Mary’s Hospice

St Mary’s Hospice is the dedicated provider in South Cumbria of comprehensive specialised supportive and palliative care for people with life limiting conditions. Our facilities and services are available to all adults who are facing the end of life, and to their families, carers and the bereaved.
Patients with life limiting illnesses are cared for at the Hospice, as inpatients or by attendance at day clinics or therapy sessions, and – increasingly – at home.
We care for patients facing the end of life, regardless of diagnosis, and for those who love them. Patients and carers may access our holistic programmes, addressing physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs, at any stage of an illness.
At St Mary’s care is provided free of charge, but it is not cost free. Just to maintain our current services costs around £2.2 million a year, of which we have to raise £1.8 from our supporters.
