A warm welcome, a listening ear – and maybe a slice of cake.
Our Drop In sessions are a chance for carers of someone with a life-limiting illness to find out more about the support we offer here at the Hospice. Whether you're new to us or simply want to reconnect, you're very welcome to come along.
This is an informal space to chat over a cup of tea or coffee and cake. It’s a chance to ask questions, find out what support is available, and simply talk things through in a relaxed, friendly setting. Patients, family members, and friends are all welcome.
While we can’t offer clinical advice during these sessions, we’re here to listen, to guide, and to help you feel more at home with what the Hospice can offer.
There's no need to book, and you don't need to have been referred - just drop in whenever it suits you during the session.
