St Giles provides high-quality specialist services that form an umbrella of care and support for people and families affected by life-threatening illness.


These wide-ranging services are offered free of charge and according to each person’s individual needs, to promote the best possible quality of living, end-of-life care and support through bereavement.


Each person may benefit from just one, or perhaps several of St Giles’ individual services, and may use a variety of services over time. Hospice care is delivered in people’s own homes and in St Giles’ specialist centres where expert clinical care is combined with a warm, friendly atmosphere.


St Giles Hospice aims to ensure people feel they are cared for as individuals, rather than simply as patients.
