About Severn Hospice Each year, more than 2,500 people living with the most heartbreaking news anyone can hear come to us for care. Our specialist teams provide more than just expert clinical care for anyone living with an incurable illness in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales. Whether being cared for at home or in one of our wards, they also support a patient’s physical, social, spiritual and psychological needs. All this compassionate care and emotional support is provided totally free of charge, but it is not without cost. Severn Hospice is a completely independent charity and has to raise £2 for every £3 it spends. We are part of the healthcare network but we are not part of the NHS. All our services are funded through a combination of kind donations from local people, fundraising activities, our weekly lottery and community shops, gifts in people’s wills and grants from the NHS.
Anyone can support us and everyone who does is appreciated by the families we care for today and in the future. Ask your nurse for more ways you can help Severn Hospice. It is because you care that we can.
