Embracing life and living
We are here for you
Katharine House Hospice’s aim is to enable people with incurable illnesses to live life as fully as possible and make the most of the time that they have, as well as supporting their loved ones.
Our care is free and provided where and when it is needed most – in the community, at home, or at our hospice.

A DONATION
Katharine House Hospice is a local charity that relies on the kindness and generosity of our community to cover most of the cost of our vital free care services. Each year it costs almost £4m to provide this care and we can’t continue without your support.

That’s thanks to your purchases and donations. Discover treasures at your local Katharine House shop or browse our eBay store – with fashion, furniture, and more arriving daily.
