How we are led

St Wilfrid’s Hospice is an independent West Sussex charity that has been providing support for adults with life limiting illness and end of life care for over 30 years.

St Wilfrid’s Hospice offer a wide range of services, providing physical, emotional, social, psychological and spiritual support, ensuring we respect and encourage individuality, dignity and self-esteem.

We work in close partnership with all health and social care professionals involved in a person’s care, including GPs and community nurses.

St Wilfrid’s Hospice supports a population of around 190,000 people with the majority of care taking place in the community, not at the Hospice. Our services cover Coastal West Sussex and Emsworth in East Hampshire. We also provide inpatient and Living Well Services to those in West Sussex who reside north of the Downs.

Thank you

“If a family member is referred to the Hospice, then go and see the place before they do. From the minute you walk in the door and have a tour of the building you feel love and warmth and it will help alleviate your worries and fears for your loved one. You really need to see it for yourself.”
