Thank you for supporting Weldmar Hospicecare.
As a Dorset charity, we rely on the generosity of the local community to be able to offer all of our services for free, to those local people who have a life limiting illness and need specialist end of life care, as well as providing support to their loved ones.
We need to raise £27,500 a day to keep our services going, which includes our Inpatient Unit in Dorchester, care provided at in the comfort of patients’ own homes across Dorset, all of our Patient and Family Support Services, and more.
There are lots of ways that you can support us, from shopping with us and donating items to our shops, through to making a regular financial donation, playing Your Hospice Lottery, and fundraising.
How would you like to support us today?
