Emma’s family turned to St Peter’s not once, but twice. 💙

When her stepdad Nick was diagnosed with colon cancer, the Hospice at Home team supported him - and the whole family - until his final days. Only six months later, Emma’s Mum was diagnosed with cancer too.

Once again, our Nurses were there - helping her stay at home, surrounded by love, right up until Christmas Day 2024, when she passed away peacefully with Emma by her side.

Afterwards, Emma received bereavement counselling through the Hospice, giving her space to begin to heal.

“St Peter’s were incredible,” she says. “They supported my Mum, and they supported me. I’ll never forget their kindness.”

Only 20% of our funding comes from the NHS. Donate today to be there for more families like Emma’s. ✨ https://ow.ly/FhnG50XrF0r

Earlier this year, Kevin attended our Wellbeing Groups and shared with us how much he's gained from the sessions. 💙

Living with a life-limiting condition can be overwhelming, but Kevin explained how the creative sessions offer a welcome shift in focus: “When you're learning the best way to pot a plant or creating your first painting with watercolours, you're distracted for a short while as you think about the activity and not your illness.”

He also spoke about the comfort of being around people who understand: “Being in the company of others in a similar boat while trying new things like painting or crafting allows you to enjoy their achievements too.”

As well as running our Wellbeing Groups at the Hospice, we now host a Community Hub every Monday morning between 9am-12pm. Anyone is welcome to drop in and take part in wellbeing activities, meet others or just join us for a chat and a cup of tea. Find out more about our Hub here: https://ow.ly/FViW50XsO69

It was great to see the Hospice sector featured on BBC Newsnight last night, calling for more funding for hospices ahead of the upcoming budget.

The piece showed Nigel, a hospice patient in South London, speaking bravely about the exceptional dedication and care he’s receiving from the staff there.

At a time when hospices across the country are facing increased demand and higher costs, it’s so important that we continue to raise awareness of the essential work we do to ease the physical and emotional pain of death and dying.

Bringing nature into the Hospice thanks to Melcourt SylvaGrow 🌱

We recently received a fantastic floral gift from Melcourt, who supply the peat-free compost used in our gardens.

Melcourt gifted us several houseplants which are already being enjoyed by staff and patients in our Therapy Room and donated Toad lilies (Tricyrtis hirta) which added a pop of colour to our Walled Garden.

Pippa Ford, our Senior Psychological Therapist, highlighted the positive impact of bringing nature into the Hospice. She said:

"Contact with plants and nature has been shown to have a direct positive impact on overall wellbeing. For patients, even small touches, like a plant by the bedside or a view of greenery, can reduce stress, ease pain and improve mood."

Next week, we'll be talking more about how nature plays a key role in the support we offer to patients and their families.

This Trustees’ Week we’re celebrating the achievements of Trustees all over the country, including our own.

We have 12 Trustees who volunteer their time, skills and heart to help guide our mission, each playing an important role in overseeing our strategy and governance. Here at St Peter’s, our Trustees split into four different committees, and we also have four co-opted Committee Members. This means we can easily focus in on specific areas, and that we have the right expertise to really make a difference.

Thank you to our Trustees – your support means everything. 💙

Earlier this month, Hospice UK, the umbrella body for Hospices, staged an event for MPs. They turned one of Westminster’s rooms into a mock living room, to highlight how hospices care for people in their own homes. Over 150 MPs stepped into the room which gave a powerful glimpse into the reality of end-of-life care and highlighted the need for better funding.

We were proud to support the event, sharing stories from two of our patients, Brian and Patrick, whose experiences show the difference hospice care makes out in the community.

📢 We're backing Hospice UK’s call for sustainable funding, so everyone can get the care they deserve, when it matters most.
