Jersey Hospice Care offers specialist palliative care to patients with any life limiting illness. Our aim is that patients are enabled to live the remainder of their lives to the full, to remain at home if they wish and to die with dignity where they choose. Our care is about so much more than the specialist palliative treatment of a person's physical symptoms. It's a total philosophy of care, offering spiritual and emotional support that extends to family members and carers. For each person we are privileged to care for, we only get one chance at the end of life to get it right and that's why we strive every day to go that extra mile for our patients and their families, to make extraordinary care our 'ordinary'. Helping each person we care for to get the best out of every day and to make each day count.

It costs £5,977,600 million each year to maintain our services, yet all of our services to patients and families remain free of charge. We rely on the support of fundraising by the community, local companies, and trusts and the income from our retail shops to enable us to continue caring for patients coming to terms with a life-limiting condition and to support their families and loved ones.

With its dramatic coastline, rich marine environment, distinctive vernacular architecture, and hedge lined country lanes, Jersey retains a strong sense of place, identity and above all beauty. However, its rural character, ecology, and built heritage remains threatened, possibly more than at any other time. This is due to unsuitable development, creeping urbanisation, unsustainable farming practices and short term economic policies. As a result, wildlife is in serious decline, the health of our environment is at risk, and tranquillity is becoming increasingly elusive.

The Trust seeks to champion and protect the distinctive qualities of Jersey so that it remains at the very heart of Island life. We will do this through vigilance, sustainable management and by promoting and increasing awareness of the value of our countryside and historic environment to our economy.
