Isabel Hospice

Isabel Hospice is a local charity caring for hundreds of people across eastern Hertfordshire each year. Our vision is Outstanding Palliative Care for All. We support patients and their families who are living with life-limiting illnesses and conditions, including cancer, heart failure or respiratory illness, and neurological conditions such as motor neurone disease. We help people to live pain- and symptom-free so they can make the most of the time they have left. Demand for our life-changing, compassionate care has never been higher, and we are now supporting more families than ever before. All of our services are free of charge to those who need them, but they are not without cost, meaning we must raise £7 million every year to guarantee the future of our care. We rely heavily on donations from our community, as well as income from fundraising events and from our 15 shops.
