Charity Begins at Home

For anybody that has experienced first-hand the immense support and comfort that St Helena Hospice provides to not just individuals with an incurable illness but also their families, friends and carers, it is easy to understand why Greenwood Property Consultants chose to support this amazing charity and have arranged a corporate sponsorship.

St Helena Hospice support people when they need it most, helping families throughout their journey with a range of services. They facilitate people being able to make their own choices and live with dignity, by focusing on their physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

Throughout the duration of the pandemic, the hospice agreed with the local NHS to act as the lead organisation coordinating all out of hospital end of life care in north Essex.

Mark Jarman-Howe, St Helena Hospice’s chief executive, said: “We have thought very carefully about a different model of care that would best support the NHS and allow us to step up and ensure that patients and families towards the end of life across north east Essex, get the care and support they need, when they need it, for however long this crisis continues.

“We have significantly expanded our SinglePoint service, so in addition to providing advice and support 24/7, we’re also acting as a coordinator for local services, to make sure that people are given the option of staying out of hospital if they don’t need to go in, but equally for dying people to have the option to come out of hospital and be cared for at home.

St Helena Hospice rely heavily on the help and generosity of fundraisers, donors and volunteers. Join Greenwood Property Consultants in supporting this invaluable charity. Please visit https://www.sthelena.org.uk/
