North London Hospice

Every year North London Hospice provides specialist end-of-life support to more than 3,500 patients

North London Hospice is a registered charity that has been caring for local people since 1984. We help those with a potentially life-limiting illness who have specialist needs. We welcome people from all faiths and communities within the boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey offering physical, emotional and spiritual care. We are now also able to offer some of our services to people within Camden and Islington.

At North London Hospice, physiotherapy begins with a simple but powerful question: “What is important to you and what would you like to do that you’re finding difficult?” That single sentence shifts the focus away from illness and limitation and towards what truly matters to the person in front of us. It might be walking into the garden to feel the air on their face, having the strength to watch television with family, or finding ways to manage fatigue so the day feels more theirs again.

“Our role isn’t to tell people what they should be able to do,” explained our Highly Specialised Physiotherapy Gareth. “When someone realises they can still do something that matters to them, you can see the difference immediately. That’s what I love most about my job and when physiotherapy becomes about living, not just coping.”

Inspired by the continued success of our Forever In Our Hearts display, North London Hospice is proud to introduce Butterfly Reflections 🦋

For a donation, you can dedicate a handcrafted stainless steel butterfly in memory of someone special.

In June 2026, a breathtaking kaleidoscope of butterflies will be displayed in the peaceful gardens of West Lodge Park. We hope that visiting the Butterfly Reflections garden will bring you a moment of comfort and calm this summer. After the display, your butterfly will be yours to keep forever. Thank you to West Lodge Park for your support.💙

With Easter right around the corner, we have been fortunate to receive some incredible donations from our local community.

A very big thank you to the pupils, parents and teachers of Finchley Catholic High School, who very kindly donated over 100 Easter eggs to the hospice. It was a delight to welcome some of the pupils last week as they delivered the eggs.

We would also like to say a big thank you to Nishma Patel from Temple SKSST Kenton Harrow, who also delivered an abundance of Easter eggs this week for patients and their families.

Thank you all for this kind, thoughtful gesture!

March highlights at North London Hospice 💙

This month saw the return of Big Fun Craft and our wonderful volunteer Mary hosted a Danish Star workshop for supporters. Our shops celebrated St Patrick’s Day, World Book Day and Sustainable Fashion Week with vibrant window displays.

We hosted a Big Fun Walk t-shirt packing day for our corporate supporters, a very big thank you to our corporates for joining us. And, we visited the beautiful West Lodge Park ahead of this year’s Butterfly Reflections event. There’s still time to order your butterfly to be featured in our display this June.

Sahara Steps is a bespoke desert adventure set among the breathtaking Moroccan dunes. 🐪🌅

From sweeping landscapes and remote desert trails to star-filled skies and shared evenings together, this is about so much more than the walk. It’s a powerful experience for a meaningful cause.

“Friendships were made for life and took existing friendships to another level. Yoga under the stars, sunset, sunrise, campfires and singing… sleeping under the stars. Cannot thank the trek staff enough for this memorable experience.”

Join a small team of like-minded North London Hospice adventurers and experience the desert in a way few ever do 💛 Tag someone in the comments that you’d like to take on this journey with!
