Weston Hospicecare is a hospice situated in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset. The Hospice cares for anyone who has a life-limiting illness and its catchment area goes as far north as Yatton and to the east as far as Cheddar and Draycott and as far south as Burnham on Sea and Wedmore.

Weston Hospicecare was founded in October 1989 from a group of volunteers who felt that the town and the surrounding areas needed a local hospice opposed to having to travel to St Peter’s in Bristol or St Margaret’s in Taunton. The hospice was established to provide palliative care for people living with cancer and other life threatening illnesses. From humble beginnings Weston Hospicecare today boasts a wide range of services including a Day Hospice, Hospice at Home and a 10 bedded In-Patient Unit. The Hospice cares for around 1300 people and their families each year.
