Day Services

The service is for people who are approaching the end of their life and/or have complex palliative care needs.

We care for patients with cancer and other progressive conditions, such as motor neurone disease, who require our specialist help.

This service is provided Monday to Friday from 10am until 3pm, depending on location.

We offer a lovely, freshly made to order lunch, cakes made that day, and drinks (including wine and sherry!) for a subsidised price of £3 a day.

All the rest of our care is free of charge.

Some of our sessions even offer hair and beauty, and baths. Our minibus picks up those who don’t have transport.

Many of our sessions have a nurse clinic to address any physical concerns patients have, and other staff are on hand to help with practical and emotional concerns.
