Originating from a local appeal in the late 1980s, the Trust upholds values of compassion, dignity, respect, and integrity, focusing on personalised holistic care for patients and their families. What makes the Trust distinctive is its singular focus on one community hospice, with no funding for any other organisations. This deep local commitment and partnership with Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust set it apart from broader funders.
