We believe no one should have to face a life-limiting and terminal illness alone. We are here to support the patients, families, carers and health professionals who need us. Our vision is that everyone should have choice and excellence on their journey towards the end of their life. We aim to seek out all those who need palliative care and ensure that something is being done to address their needs.
Our broad range of adult hospice services aims to enrich the lives of patients and their families from the diverse communities of Luton and South Bedfordshire. Care is available to all those who can benefit from it and we work to meet all the needs of our patients, including those arising from their ethnic, cultural or religious heritage.
All services are provided free of charge, but without the vital support of our local communities and the generosity of our supporters we would not be able to continue this work.

The staff went above and beyond the call of duty not just with me but with my family too. I’d come to terms with my situation and was ready to fight while everyone else was falling apart around me, but the nurses were brilliant and really supportive.
