Through the Night

We want to be there for every family who needs us this Christmas.

Donate today to help our Night Team be there for patients and families whatever the hour.

No one should face the night alone.

While most people are sleeping, our Hospice at Home team are there through the night. They provide specialist, compassionate care 24/7, answering calls and visiting terminally ill patients and their families through the darkest hours. But they can’t do it without your support.

Our care is provided free of charge to patients and families, but it is not free to provide. With less than a third of the money we need to run Thames Hospice coming from the NHS, we rely on the generosity of our community to help fund our care.

80% of our patients are cared for out in the community. Patients like Shelia who so wanted to spend the time she had left at home. Thanks to our Hospice at Home Team, she was able to stay there until the end. And they were there when Hollie called, whatever the hour.

“Thames Hospice were there whenever me and mum needed them, but especially at night when everything felt more frightening. Knowing I could pick up the phone and speak to someone who understood was so reassuring.” - Hollie, Sheila’s daughter

Tonight, another family will need us. With your donation, we can be there to answer the call, provide expert care, and make sure no one faces the night alone.
