St Michael's Hospice - Hereford

St Michael's Hospice - Hereford St Michael's Hospice is an independent charity that exists to help, support and care for patients

As a charity, we need to raise over £5.8 million a year to ensure we can continue to provide our care and support for free. 74% of this funding comes from our local community through donations and fundraising events. Our multi-disciplinary team includes doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, complementary therapists, social workers, chaplains and counsellors. Specialist Hospice staff work together and often in partnership with the NHS to relieve patients’ symptoms, control their pain and help them to live well until the end of life. We provide Inpatient services, hospice daycare and support for patients in a range of settings, including their homes. We are also there to ensure loved ones have access to the appropriate care and support they need to cope with the complex feelings and lifestyle changes caused by a terminal illness. Supporting your Hospice
St Michael’s Hospice provides all its care free of charge to patients, their families and carers. This care is made possible by supporters taking part in fundraising events, playing our lottery, shopping at our retail outlets, making charitable donations and leaving gifts in their wills.

Please bear with us 💙

Due to unexpected work needed on our roller doors at Station Yard Home & Living (Leominster), we are having to temporarily relocate where you donate your quality items 📦 to inside the shop.

As our team navigate this challenge, we ask that you please bear with us. We are working to ensure we can continue to accept your donations during this time, but we may not be able to take the quantities of items that we usually do.

We will keep you updated when we have more information - thank you for your patience and continued support 💙

🎨 “It was just a bit of fun really…”

But it turned into something pretty special 💛

We loved popping into The Britannia Inn Hereford to see this brilliant piece of artwork created by one of their regulars, Jamie Francis. Even better? Prints of Jamie’s work were snapped up by fellow pub-goers, raising an amazing £380 for St Michael’s 🙌

A huge thank you to Jamie and everyone at The Brit for the support!
