Ashgate Hospice is a provider of Specialist Palliative Care serving a North Derbyshire population of approximately 370,000.

Its statement of purpose is “To ensure that every ill person with palliative care requirements has access to professional staff of all disciplines who can provide appropriate care in the setting which is most in accordance with the patient’s wishes and those of his/her family/carers. To improve the quality of daily life by providing optimum symptom control services and helping to alleviate fear, depression and loneliness”. This hospice has just completed a £3 million extension to enable us to meet the need of the locality.

Each year the Hospice has to rely heavily on the support of the local community to raise in excess of £1 million.
