Dove specialises in care that enhances holistic well-being from the time of diagnosis of a life-threatening illness.  We support people for whom a cure or remission is expected, with our ‘Return to Wellness’ programmes, and also patients whose illness is no longer curable.

While there is no cost of care for the service-user, it is not a ‘free’ service.  We receive no direct government funding and relying on the generosity of our local community to raise 100% of our funding.  You can assist us with our funding by purchasing quality, pre-loved and new goods from our Dove Hospice Shops, Donate to Dove, Fundraise for Dove, Volunteer for Dove, or Bequest to Dove in your Will.

At Dove, the patient and family are at the centre of everything we do; the person – not the illness – is the focus of our care.  We aim to embrace and companion people with warmth, understanding and friendship while offering guidance and support during difficult times.
