About us

Quality of life, to the end of life, for everyone

A very warm welcome from us all at Thames Hospice. Proudly serving the community of East Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire for more than 36 years, we work in partnership with our local healthcare colleagues to provide specialist palliative and end-of-life care services to people aged 16 and over in their own homes and within the Hospice.

Expert care, everyday kindness

Treating everyone with kindness, compassion and providing a safe and caring environment is at the heart of everything we do to support those facing a life-limiting condition.

We are committed to delivering care that is agile and responsive so that we give patients and their families choices about the care they receive, providing the highest quality clinical and therapeutic care within our Hospice and in patients’ homes, supporting the physical, social and psychological needs of our patients and their loved ones. Our highly skilled Doctors and Nurses work with patients and their families to develop a complete programme of care tailored to their needs, treating everyone with dignity and respect. 

Our services are free of charge to all those in our community who need vital hospice care but this is only made possible through the charitable support and generosity of our amazing community. We receive a 26% financial contribution towards our operating costs funded by NHS England and need to raise £38,363 each day to fund our services 365 days a year to the people who need us most.

Our values

We exist to provide and support the best palliative and end-of-life care services, giving dignity and comfort to those facing a terminal illness. Our values are who we are, the essence of our culture and inspiration for our behaviour.

Compassion for everyone in a safe and caring environment.

Ambition

Respect
