St Barnabas Hospice is the leading charity in Lincolnshire providing palliative and end-of-life care to adults living with a life-limiting or terminal illness.

Our vision is a world where dying with dignity, compassion and having choices is a fundamental part of a life. Our mission is to ensure all individuals facing the end of their life in Lincolnshire receive dignified, compassionate care when they require it and where they ask for it.

Between 2023 and 2024, we supported:

> 227 patients in our Inpatient Unit hospice beds in Lincoln
> 140 patients in our Hospice in the Hospital in Grantham
> 3,430 patients in the community
> 3,204 new patient referrals and 68,000 phone calls
> 1,085 clients through our Counselling & Bereavement services
> 926 patients through Occupational Therapy and 729 patients through Physiotherapy

We aim to enable patients to live as fully as they are able for however many days, weeks, or months they have left. We couldn’t do this without our wonderful supporters.

How your support could help us:

We are grateful to the thousands of people who participate in our numerous activities and fundraisers, remembering loved ones and raising money for our charity. This year, we are asking you to join them, helping us raise vital funds for Hospice care and continue supporting more than 12,000 people each year.

With every pound raised, you’re making a difference to patients and families in your local community, just like John, who is cared for by St Barnabas.

John says: “It’s nice to have somebody here to talk to. They come and have a chat with me, ask me how I am, and if there is anything they can do. When you’re on your own, it’s lonely, and you get a bit fed up at times, but I’m very happy with St Barnabas. They’ve been very good to me”.

You can read more about John’s story here. The cost of caring for a patient, like John, in their own home is £19.93 per hour. By signing up to fundraising initiatives such as the Inflatable 5k, you can help us continue providing this vital care.
