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.

⚠️Warning, this reel might cause serious fear of missing out.... ☺️

If you haven't visited one of our popular Home & Living shops yet across Herefordshire (and now Shropshire! 🎉) you're in for a treat.

Today marks 1 week since we opened our brand new shop in Ludlow! So we're sharing a little throwback to the opening day and a flavour of some of the amazing preloved items you can find.

Our Home & Living shops sell almost everything you can imagine! And they're great for a rummage and a catch up with friends.

But the best bit? 🙌
You get the feel-good factor knowing that every purchase goes directly towards helping us look after over 2,400 people and their families with essential specialist care and support exactly when they need it.

What can be better than that? 🤗

The sun is shining! 😎 And our army of volunteers are out in our grounds lovingly tending to them.
But did you know that spending time in a garden is about so much more than just a lovely view or place to walk?

Here's a little throwback to when Dr Jim told us about the therapeutic benefits of getting out into the garden. Click here to watch: 👇 https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxnJHCXXTUCrVNBiifLF76jFdQOpDMmjY0?si=y4R0_YqXU1DTw8R3

🚜✨ Over 50 Tractors, One Big Heart!

You may remember more than 50 tractors lighting up the streets of Kington before Christmas, and hearts too! 💛

That spectacular tractor run has raised over £3,000 for St Michael’s Hospice, bringing the town and surrounding villages together for an unforgettable night.

The fundraiser was organised by Laura and Georgina Synnock in memory of their dad, John, who spent eight weeks at St Michael’s before passing in 2017.

A huge thank you to everyone who drove a tractor or cheered them on, you’ve made a lasting difference.

💬 Were you there? We’d love to see your photos and hear your favourite moments from the night, share them in the comments below!

“Staggering.”

Mindfulness gave Ken the space to breathe, reflect, and begin moving forward again. 💙

🌼 Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! 🌼

Today feels extra special as our hospice gardens are bursting with daffodils in full bloom, a beautiful symbol of hope, resilience and new beginnings.

We’re so lucky to be surrounded by such peaceful, uplifting grounds here at St Michael’s Hospice. For many of our patients, families and visitors, the gardens provide quiet comfort when it’s needed most 💛

And if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like beyond our gates… our upcoming Plant Fair will be the first opportunity this year for the public to come and explore these beautiful surroundings. 🌿

13 Miles for Mum 💙🕊️

When Jonathan Chartres runs RUN Hereford this May, it’s not just a race, it’s a run for his mum, Pauline, who spent her last days at St Michael’s Hospice.

“It was a very emotional time, but Mum received top quality care… Mum would have loved the Hospice Grotto before Christmas—it reminded me how brilliant their work is,” Jonathan shares.

This is his first RUN Hereford, but with the support of Alex at Smart Performance Coaching he’s ready to take on the challenge.

🌿🕊️ Creativity and nature in our gardens!

We’re lucky to have a wide variety of birds visiting our grounds, and patients and staff get huge enjoyment feeding and watching these feathered friends. 🐦

During in January, our Occupational Therapy team gave patients the chance to get hands-on making their own bird feeders. The activity encouraged creativity, relaxation, and meaningful moments with loved ones, all while connecting with the nature around them.

A huge thank you to Ray, our Occupational Therapy student, and The Wild Bird Store, Hereford, for donating seeds and coconut shells to make it possible! 🌱

💬 We’d love to hear from you, which garden birds bring you joy?

🌼 Spring is starting to peek through at St Michael’s!

Every morning as we drive up to work, the front of the hospice is bursting with bright yellow daffodils 🌞. Even with a few damp, drizzly days recently, the longer mornings and evenings are a reminder that spring is on its way!

💬 Tell us — what’s your favourite sign that spring has arrived?

If you love seeing the season in bloom and are looking for a reason to get outside, we’d love you to join us for our Big Spring Walk. 🌿 Sign up today — it’s free! Bit.ly/SMH_BigSpringWalk
