St Elizabeth Hospice is an independent charity and hospice, which improves life for people in the east Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney areas living with a progressive or life-limiting illness. Established in 1989 the hospice has built a reputation for delivering high-level care to patients and the community it serves. Through medicine and therapy, they ease pain; give life purpose and make life liveable. Last year the charity supported over 3,000 patients and their families. The hospice’s work is centred on the individual's needs and they provide specialist support wherever it is needed; whether that is in the home, another setting in the community, in hospital or in the hospice itself. Support is provided to patients and their families via the Inpatient Unit, day services including outpatient’s clinics, home visits from the community nursing, medical or therapy team, the OneCall 24/7 telephone helpline and bereavement support. Each year it costs around £12.9 million to deliver all our care services and run the organisation, including support in Great Yarmouth and Waveney. 70% of our hospice costs have to be raised by us, 30% comes from services commissioned by the NHS. We raise money from community groups, schools, companies, events, individual gifts and trusts and foundations. Your support would mean so much to the community we serve.
