💚 Mental Health Awareness Week 💚
This week is a reminder that mental health matters — for every one of us.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when facing illness, caring for someone you love, coping with grief, or navigating loss and uncertainty. At Hospice at Home Carlisle & North Lakeland, we know that emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical care.
Every day, our teams provide compassionate support not only for patients, but for families and loved ones too — offering comfort, reassurance, bereavement support and a listening ear when it’s needed most.
But we can only continue this vital work thanks to the kindness and generosity of our community. 💛
If you would like to help us continue supporting local people and families across North and East Cumbria, please consider donating today.

Today, on International Nurses Day, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible nurses who bring compassion, dignity and comfort into the homes of patients and families across North and East Cumbria. 💛

At Hospice at Home Carlisle & North Lakeland, our nurses do so much more than provide clinical care. They offer reassurance in moments of fear, kindness during the hardest days, and support that helps families feel less alone.

Every day, they travel across the region to ensure local people can receive expert hospice care in the place that matters most… home.

To our amazing nursing team — thank you for your compassion, professionalism, strength and dedication. The difference you make to patients and families every single day is immeasurable.

What a truly wonderful weekend at the The Dalemain World Marmalade Awards & Festival 🍊💛

A huge thank you to everyone at Dalemain Mansion & Historic Gardens for yet another incredible event. Your continued support, warmth and generosity towards Hospice at Home Carlisle & North Lakeland means so much to us all.

Thank you to everybody who attended the festival, stopped by our stand to say hello, shared kind words, made a donation, or took the time to learn more about the care we provide across our community. Every conversation and every contribution helps us continue supporting local patients and families with hospice care at home.

For many people, one of the hardest things about death and dying is simply not knowing what to expect.

Fear often grows in silence — but understanding can bring reassurance. 💛

This Dying Matters Awareness Week, Hospice UK has created helpful information and resources to support people wanting to learn more about dying, what happens at the end of life, and how to support someone who is dying.

Knowledge helps reduce fear.

Conversation helps reduce stigma.

👉 Explore the resources here: www.hospiceuk.org/our-campaigns/dying-matters/dying-matters-resources -menu-19819

Because no one should have to face death and dying without understanding or support.
