Weldmar Hospicecare

Weldmar Hospicecare Weldmar Hospicecare is a Dorset charity providing specialist end of life care. All of our care is free.

Weldmar Hospicecare is an independent Dorset charity that provides free end of life care for adults with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones. Our compassionate approach supports patients and their families in the community, at home, and in our hospice. We have a dedicated team of nurses, doctors, therapists, social workers and counsellors, but only 21% of our funds are provided by the NHS – the rest is raised for our Dorset charity thanks to the support of the local community. Our aim is to ensure all patients needing end of life care in Dorset have access to excellent services, delivered when they are needed, meeting individual needs of patients and their loved ones.

This , there are families across Dorset being supported by Weldmar Hospicecare's Patient and Family Support team. Counsellors will be checking in with individuals regularly, and we have a dedicated Children and Young Person's Counsellor, too.

Bereaved relatives can also find comfort in treatments provided by our complementary therapists, which can help with anxiety and stress. Those who have lost a loved one can also attend our Wellbeing Support Sessions, finding mutual support with those experiencing a similar journey in a relaxed, social setting facilitated by our team.

Just like all of our services, this is all provided for free.

Weldmar also provides opportunities to remember your loved one in special ways. Pictured here is the beautiful Memory Tree installation at our hospice in Dorchester, and over the past fortnight we've been remembering loved ones at Light up a Life services in local communities through the county. Find details on how you can remember a loved one on our website.

If you weren't able to attend your local service, then join us this Wednesday at 7:30pm for the Light Up A Life: Online Service of Remembrance.

These gifts include puzzles and puzzle books, chocolates, blankets, and fluffy socks plus some lovely pressies such as travel cups, chocolates and pens for the wonderful nurses, doctors, and health care professionals at Weldmar too.
