About The Hospice of St Francis
The Hospice of St Francis is a charity which helps 2,000 local people and their families, in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, to live their precious lives well.
Defined by each person’s need, our free care for people managing, or recovering from, serious illness has many forms – care at the Hospice, at Home, or in our Health and Wellbeing Centre which offers courses, workshops, clinics and therapies.
Over 1,200 volunteers are vital in helping delivery our free care. We need to raise over £6 million annually to fund that care.
“Everyone has a talent that gets better for using it and the Hospice needs all the talents.” Pam Macpherson, Founder of The Hospice of St Francis
Thank you.
