North London Hospice

Every year North London Hospice provides specialist end-of-life care to more than 3,500 patients

North London Hospice is a registered charity that has been caring for local people since 1984. We help those with a potentially life-limiting illness who have specialist needs. We welcome people from all faiths and communities within the boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey offering physical, emotional and spiritual care. We are now also able to offer some of our services to people within Camden and Islington.

“While everyone’s grief is their own, events such as Light Up A Life are a reminder that you are not alone, and that in the hospice there is a connection built from loss, but sustained by compassion.”

Join us at North London Hospice on Sunday 30 November 2025 for our annual Light Up A Life ceremony.

As we transform our garden into a haven of togetherness and hope, we invite you to make a dedication and join us to see your light shining brightly. 💙

Dare to dip. Brrrave the chill. Support your local hospice.

We’re calling on the bravest North Londoners to face the freeze on Saturday 28 February 2026 and take on the coolest challenge around – the Cold Water Dip.

Cold water dipping involves briefly immersing your body for 1-5 minutes in cold water; usually around 4 degrees Celsius. Once the secret weapon of athletes for soothing tired muscles, it’s now a popular choice for anyone chasing a burst of energy, a clear head and a boost for body and mind.

When Patrick was referred from hospital to our Inpatient Unit, following a complex gastrointestinal episode, his sisters were braced for a stressful ordeal. At 61, new environments had always been laden with anxiety, and the family were exhausted from a difficult fortnight on a busy ward.

“It was clear that Patrick was slow to develop from a young age, and he soon started missing key milestones like reading and writing,” explained his sister Carmel. “He can’t cope with crowds or noise and can become nervous easily, so familiarity is critical, which isn’t really compatible with a hospital stay.”

That said, once Patrick settled into his private room on our Inpatient Unit, the change was swift. “It was almost miraculous and totally phenomenal to see. From the beginning, every member of staff and volunteer treated him like a human being, reassuring him and caring for him in such a gentle way that he noticeably relaxed,” Carmel relayed.

“They took the time to understand him, filled his room with leprechauns for St Patrick’s Day and explained everything using his teddies. They gained his trust. I am just overwhelmed with the kindness, respect and dignity shown to him. He wouldn’t necessarily know, but we would.”
