Thames Hospice Ambassadors

Our celebrity ambassadors help us in many ways: spreading the word about our work; giving their time to our patients and families; attending events and fundraising to help fund the care we provide. We are so grateful for all their hard work and support.

We're also immensely proud of the amazing people who give their time to support and promote Thames Hospice. From those who have been directly affected by our work, to the people who have been inspired by our expert clinical teams and the incredible people we are privileged to care for - meet the Thames Hospice Ambassadors.
