We’re here through life’s most difficult journey
Weldmar Hospicecare is a Dorset charity providing specialist end of life care for adults with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones.
Our compassionate approach supports patients and their families both at home and in our hospice. We have a dedicated team of nurses, doctors, therapists, and counsellors. Our aim is to ensure all adults needing end of life care in Dorset have access to excellent services, delivered when they are needed, meeting individual needs of patients and their loved ones.
All of our care is provided free, but we need to raise more than £27,000 every day with the support of the local community, in order to continue our services.

How your support makes a difference
Mike, from Weymouth, is currently in the care of Weldmar. He says: “When you hear the word ‘hospice’, it’s quite a scary thing. It seems that once you say the word, that’s it for you, but it’s not that way. Hospice care is a way of making the time you’ve got left better.”
Your support makes this possible.
