About St Mary’s Hospice
At St Mary’s Hospice, we provide specialised care and support for individuals and families with life-limiting illnesses in the Furness and South Lakes areas.
Our services include the eight-bed in-patient unit, Hospice at Home, bereavement service, dementia service and living well services. All of these are provided by a skilled team of doctors, nurses, staff and volunteers.
As a charity, we are supported by our community and rely on generous donations to continue delivering the highest level of care.
