St Mary’s Hospice Community Hub
The St Mary’s Hospice Community Hub in Barrow is a welcoming space designed to support individuals living with long-term and life-limiting conditions, as well as their families, carers, and those who are bereaved. The hub provides a supportive environment where people can focus on maintaining their independence, enhancing their well-being, and accessing the assistance they need.

The Community Hub: Support, Education and Connection
In addition to offering compassionate and inclusive support, the hub serves as a centre for community education, providing valuable resources and learning opportunities that empower individuals and strengthen community connections.
Whether seeking support, information, or simply a welcoming space to connect with others, the Community Hub is there to help.
Take a Tour of the Hub
Visiting a new place for the first time can sometimes feel daunting. To help visitors feel more comfortable, St Mary’s Hospice has created a short video tour of the Community Hub. This provides an opportunity to explore the space, gain a sense of what to expect, and learn more about the support available.
