At a time when the cost of our care is higher than our income, your support is more important than ever. It means that our expert teams can continue to support the physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual and practical needs of patients and their families and carers. And it provides nursing and medical care, social support, 24/7 telephone advice and pre- and post-bereavement support for around 2,300 people a year.
St Wilfrid’s Hospice has been a part of the community for more than 40 years - and we want to be here for many more years to come. Which is why we are asking individuals, groups and businesses to raise vital funds this Wilf Week.
Our fundraising team are on hand to provide advice and support, collection buckets and other resources so do get in touch if you have any questions. And check out our fundraising page for a selection of downloadable resources to help you with your fundraising.

‘We want to thank everyone at St Wilfrid’s who helped Mum in any way. Their support meant that our beautiful Mum could have her wish to pass away peacefully at home, and for that, we’ll be eternally grateful.’
Naomi, whose mum Alison was cared for by St Wilfrid’s.
Every penny you fundraise this Wilf Week makes a huge difference:
£14 could mean an hour of hands-on care for someone at home by funding our care at home team.
£42 could allow us to reach all the corners of our community by keeping a car on the road for a morning.
£121 could sponsor a nurse for a day, giving specialist care on our Inpatient Unit or out in the community.
£395 could provide comfort and reassurance to loved ones by providing 12 hours of our Nurse Line service.
