St Wilfrid’s Hospice
Providing specialist care across the South East
This month, the Hailsham Chamber of Commerce is proud to shine a light on St Wilfrid’s Hospice, Eastbourne — an organisation doing incredible work in our community. Here’s what they do, why they matter, and how you can help. 🕊️
Who They Are & What They Do
St Wilfrid’s provides compassionate, specialist care to people across Eastbourne, Seaford, Hailsham, Uckfield, Heathfield, and the surrounding areas.
Their mission is simple yet profound: helping people “live well at the end of life.”
Their service offering is wide-ranging:
- Inpatient care in their hospice unit.
- Care at home — so people can remain in familiar surroundings as long as possible.
- A 24/7 nurse line for advice, support and reassurance.
- Various therapies, spiritual support, social work & family support, and bereavement services, including the Seahorse Project for children.
How You & Local Businesses Can Support
Here are some ways that members of our community and local businesses can help:
- Donate — financial gifts, regular giving, gifts in wills.
- Volunteer — whether you can donate a few hours or more, every helping hand counts.
- Fundraise / Corporate Partnerships — sponsoring events, supporting campaigns or partnering with them.
- Shop or Donate Goods via their shops or café.
