Farleigh Hospice exists to meet the needs of local people affected by life limiting illnesses and to support those who have been bereaved. Through the ongoing generosity of the mid Essex population we provide a range of high quality services totally free of charge. By giving people choice and involvement in the care they receive we make a real difference when and where it matters most.

At any one time Farleigh Hospice is providing care, totally free of charge, to around 1,400 local people affected by life-limiting illnesses. Care and support services are extended to carers and family members, including children through our Yo-Yo Project. To fund all of this care we rely on people fundraising, leaving gifts in their Wills, making donations, playing the Local Hospice Lottery and supporting our 13 charity shops.

Farleigh Hospice recognises that coming to terms with a life-limiting illness can be very difficult and distressing for everyone involved. The patients themselves, their relatives and their carers can often be deeply affected. The hospice and its team of staff and volunteers therefore aims to provide a warm, friendly and supportive environment in which everyone feels welcome and cared for.
