Dove Cottage Day Hospice

Dove Cottage Day Hospice Dove Cottage is a Day Hospice in Leicestershire. We offer high quality care to people with any palliative diagnosis.

Our aim is to offer care and support for you, your families and carers through our day care and family support services. Dove Cottage Day Hospice is situated in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir. We are an independent organisation offering high quality palliative day care to those people living in NE Leicestershire, Rutland and SE Nottinghamshire with supportive and palliative care needs, living with advanced progressive life limiting illness. We offer over 3,700 day care places every year and have a high carer to guest ratio. All of our services are provided free of charge, including a wonderful home-cooked 3 course lunch, with any special dietary needs catered for. Dove Cottage has a homely and peaceful atmosphere. Our purpose built premises include a lounge, dining room, quiet room, complimentary therapy room & bathroom as well as lovely gardens with magnificent views over open countryside.

Our volunteers are central to everything we do. Do you know that they clock up just short of 20,000 hours per year! Their dedication and support makes our aim to improve local lives possible and we are truly thankful to them! 🥰

As we gear up to celebrate our 30th Anniversary next year, we’re looking for even more incredible people to join our volunteering family. Whether you can commit to a regular slot or just lend a hand occasionally, we’d love to hear from you! 😀

Drop us a message, share this post, or tag someone who might be interested and let’s make this milestone unforgettable, together!💛

We’ll all be remembered for something. A funny moment. A unique hobby. Or even your legendary dance moves at the local disco night.
But you can be remembered for even more, by leaving a gift in your Will to your favourite charity.
This will you help to make a difference and leave a legacy in your will to Dove Cottage to help our work live on.......

For further information about our Free Will Writing Service please contact fundraising@dovecottage.org and be remembered for even more than your legendary dance moves.🕺💃🏻💃🏿

Hospice care is more than you think.
On the wards, in the community, and in people’s homes across the UK, hospices look after people who are approaching the end of life day in, day out.

The need for hospice care is rising fast – but the cost of providing care is soaring, too. And with inadequate government funding, many hospices are on the brink, with services being cut back when they could – and should – be expanding to meet rising demand.
Will you ask your MP to help?

We were delighted to welcome this lovely lot from LeisureBench Ltd on Friday as they popped in to our Stathern . They are raising money for our friends at LOROS Hospice and The Brain Tumour Charity - see story for further details 👇

Community support such as this is always so vital. Whilst we are a separate charity to LOROS we are mutually supportive of each other and it's pleasing to see this kind of endeavour. Well done guys!👏
