About us

The Hospice plays a vital role in helping people to live life as fully as they can right up until the end. Via expert clinical care we ensure that wherever possible peace, respect and calm remain – it’s very simple and very human ethos. This site will help you see just how necessary the Hospice is, and, I hope help you understand how much you and your family would value our support should you need us in the future.

We care for people across our local community however we are not part of the NHS. We receive 30% of our funding from the NHS, this leaves us with a shortfall to raise every year of over £3 million. As you can see the help and financial support from individuals and community groups is essential for us to continue providing vital hospice care.

The Martlets is your local hospice and we need your support. We ask people to care now so that we will be here when they need us most. Enjoy looking through the pages on our site, find out more about the services we provide and about how you could get involved. There many ways to support us from experiencing one of our events, to setting up a monthly standing order, not to mention the huge range of voluntary opportunities within the organisation. We now run Martlets Care Agency, a private nursing and care agency whose profits go to the Hospice.

However you decide to get involved with the Martlets, it will be greatly appreciated.
