Any other independent carers or care professionals who would just love to meet up and wax lyrical about work and other general stuff that we can all connect with ?

Hands up 🙌 - I’m pondering a simple get together of solidarity and connection x

This year, Dorothy House celebrates 50 years of care. For five decades, our community has been at the heart of everything we do, standing alongside us as we support patients and families through life’s most challenging moments.

Over those 50 years, we’ve had the privilege of caring for more than 75,000 people. With your continued support, we can be there for thousands more for the next 50 years and beyond.

To mark this milestone, we’re asking a simple question:
Could you help a nurse with a gift?

Our nurses are caring for people in our Inpatient Unit and out in the community, day and night. They provide comfort, reassurance and compassion exactly when it’s needed most - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Every gift, whatever its size, helps make that care possible for people in your community 🩷

If you’re able to, you can support our 50 Years of Care Appeal here:
