Weldmar Hospicecare

Weldmar Hospicecare Weldmar Hospicecare is a Dorset charity providing specialist end of life care. All of our care is free.

Weldmar Hospicecare is an independent Dorset charity that provides free end of life care for adults with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones. Our compassionate approach supports patients and their families in the community, at home, and in our hospice. We have a dedicated team of nurses, doctors, therapists, social workers and counsellors, but only 21% of our funds are provided by the NHS – the rest is raised for our Dorset charity thanks to the support of the local community. Our aim is to ensure all patients needing end of life care in Dorset have access to excellent services, delivered when they are needed, meeting individual needs of patients and their loved ones.

How do you talk to a child about grief and bereavement? Especially at Christmas time? At Weldmar Hospicecare, we believe children deserve specialist support.

Our dedicated Children and Young Person's Counsellor, Sandra, offers ongoing support for youngsters while their loved one is in our care, and afterwards. Like all of our services, this is provided for free.

As part of this year's Light up a Life, Sandra has put together a collection of practical activities and ideas for families supporting a grieving child.
