St. Luke's Hospice is a local charity providing compassionate care to people whose illnesses are no longer curable. Our mission is to promote dignity in dying and empower people to make the choices they want, from the moment they are diagnosed.

Our care considers people’s medical, spiritual and emotional needs, including support for loved ones and carers. Anyone living in Basildon and Thurrock can call on us 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Working alongside other healthcare providers, our specialist services are available at the hospice, out in the community or in a person’s place of residence. Together, we fulfil people’s choices at the end of their life.

We are a charity and the services we provide are free. We rely on voluntary income from local people to deliver the care they deserve.
