Spalding Hospice Foundation Website

The team at Drive By Websites has found creating the Spalding Hospice Foundation website a humbling experience and I'm very conscious that I would like to promote the Hospice and the most excellent work done by volunteers without being self-congratulatory.

But, promote I will because, just like me, you might not know that the Spalding Hospice Foundation was formed in 2002 with the aim of providing 24 hour hospice beds for the people of the Spalding area suffering from life threatening illnesses.

The hospice wants to provide a calm and caring environment for people whose illnesses cannot be cured. The hospice beds also provide respite care for carers as well as support for the patient.

The Spalding Hospice Foundation was established after an Open Meeting in the Parish Church in 2002 to raise funds with the sole objective of supporting hospice beds and palliative care for adults and young people with life threatening illnesses in Spalding and the surrounding area. The aim was to provide a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team to improve the quality of life for patients with a life threatening illness in a friendly and relaxed environment.


All monies raised, donations and bequests received are paid directly into a bank account and are used solely to support the hospice beds and palliative care services required by the Tulip Suite. No administration fees or any other charges are made by the Spalding Hospice Committee. The work of the Committee is voluntary to maximize the amount of monies available to be spent on the ongoing upkeep of the new Tulip Suite at the Spalding Johnson Community Hospital.
