Butterwick Hospice on Friday 13th December 2013. Each and every day,
Butterwick Hospice help people living with a life lim
Butterwick Hospice aim to
improve the quality of life for those who have a life limiting illness and
their families and to help them relate positively to every challenge they may
encounter during their illness and to see death as part of life’s journey.
Butterwick
Hospice cares for up to 200 patients and their loved ones every day. All of their
services are provided completely free of charge, as they rely on donations to
continue to care for patients. Butterwick Hospice serves a diverse area,
supporting people and their families in Teesside, County Durham, North Yorkshire
and Wearside. General fundraising is a constant activity for Butterwick
Hospice, as they receive a much smaller percentage of legacies in comparison to
other hospices nationally as they serve less affluent areas. Historically they
have relied heavily on their communities for support.
Butterwick’s
Children’s Hospice, Butterwick House, is a happy, child friendly and homely
environment where children can play and relax. Experienced sick children’s
nurses and nursery nurses can take over the families caring responsibilities.
The specialised facilities help to enrich children’s lives and at the end of
the child’s life families feel they are among friends who will support them.
