Forest Holme Hospice

Welcome to Forest Holme Hospice

We help ensure that everyone in our community affected by life-limiting illness or bereavement, gets the care and support they need, either at home or in our dedicated hospice facility.

NHS funding is limited, which is why we need to raise £1 million each year so that our team can deliver the highest level of care, when and where it counts.

The ‘Dad look’. This is a look that every parent can relate to; the look where nothing needs to be said but as his daughter I know I potentially could be in trouble.

Noel’s story

Noel and I lived in the Cotswolds and met at second school. We were an item at school until he moved away with his parents.
