Did you know that, when given a choice, most people would prefer to be cared for and die at home, surrounded by their loved ones*? 💙

At Blythe House Hospice, helping the people of North Derbyshire fulfil this choice is at the heart of our mission – it’s something that was exceptionally important to our Founding Patrons, Reverend Betty Packham and Dr Louise Jordan.

Only 28% of our running costs come from the NHS, the rest is raised by the kindness and generosity of you – our local community. Every donation, event, and shop purchase helps us to keep caring for local patients and families.

We’re incredibly proud to continue Reverend Packham and Dr Jordan’s legacy, and of what we achieve with the money we receive from the NHS, and from your support.

We’re sending a big thank you to the Glossop Vehicle Enthusiasts Club (GVEC) for hosting the Glossop Car Show and raising an incredible £725 for Blythe House Hospice! 💙

The event took place at Manor Park in Glossop in August, showing around 300 pre-war, classic, retro and modern performance vehicles. 🚗

Did you know? Only 28% of our running costs come from the NHS. The rest is raised through events like this one, our high street shops and gifts in Wills.

We’re grateful to Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish Council for gifting the hospice four tickets to see ‘Allo ‘Allo 2: The Camembert Caper at Chapel Playhouse on Thursday evening.💙

Each year, the Council kindly gives tickets to a local organisation as a way of saying ‘thank you for the contribution that they make to the town.’

We opened the offer to our volunteers and drew two names out of a hat – and they, along with their guests, enjoyed a brilliant evening out!

One of our volunteers said: ‘Thank you! A lovely night out, a lucky win.’ 🎭

'This training helped me feel so much more prepared – I wish I’d known this sooner.' 💭

That’s just one of the things we’ve heard from past attendees of our Last Days Matter training.

We’re running our next FREE session:
🗓️ From 9:30am–12:30pm on Thursday, 6th November
📍 Blythe House Hospice

Originally developed by the North Lancashire Compassionate Communities Group, including St John’s Hospice, this training addresses a recognised gap in information and guidance about the end of life journey. It provides essential insights into both the emotional and practical aspects of caring for a loved one, and what to do after they have died.

Whether you're caring for a loved one or simply want to understand more about end of life care, this session offers gentle, practical guidance that really makes a difference.

To book your slot, email Sarah, our Community Engagement Officer, on sarah.sewell@blythehouse.co.uk

Dedicate a light in memory of someone you love. ✨

This winter, we invite you to join our Light up a Life appeal - a chance to remember and celebrate those we miss.

Every light dedicated helps Blythe House to provide free, personalised care for people across North Derbyshire who are living with a life-limiting illness, and support their loved ones too.

You are warmly invited to join us for the Light up a Life service at Blythe House Hospice at 6.30pm on Monday 15th December.

The service will include time for reflection and remembrance, followed by refreshments and mince pies (with juice and snacks for children).

It’s a gentle and meaningful way to come together, share memories, and find comfort in the company of others.

To dedicate a light to celebrate the life of someone you love, click the link in our bio. 💙

We’re sending grateful thanks to Sally Munslow who has raised £1,280 for Blythe House by taking on the Windgather fell race in memory of her beloved mum, Hilary Boyd, known as Biddy. 💙

Sally and her son received counselling at the hospice to support them when Biddy died in January.

The Windgather fell race (also known as the Andrew Heywood Memorial) took place on Sunday 12th October and is a challenging 13.5 mile route starting and finishing in Burbage around the Goyt Valley, Windgather Rocks, Pym Chair and Shining Tor.
