Our story

Katharine House Hospice began as ‘Stafford Hospice at Home’ in 1989, before the Katharine House Hospice Day Care Unit opened in May 1993.

We have gone from strength to strength, welcoming our first in-patient in September 2000.

We now provide support in our hospice and in people’s homes, not just to patients but also to their families and carers.

This has all been made possible thanks to the kindness and generosity of our supporters.
