Jersey Hospice Care is the island’s only hospice – providing specialist palliative care for people with life-limiting conditions.  

Services include the Specialist Palliative Care Team – who support people at home, in hospital, and care homes, a 12 bed In Patient Unit providing a home away from home, educational programmes, physiotherapy, emotional, spiritual and faith support, and community bereavement services. Jersey Hospice Care is an independent charity, providing all its services without a charge to patients. 

It costs £16,500 a day to run its services – funded mainly by the generosity of islanders. This comes in the form of fundraising, donations, and sales in our two charity shops, as well as through the outstanding work of the army of dedicated volunteers who give their time and skills to keep the hospice running.

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.
