St Bernard's Hospice East London

St Bernard's Hospice East London Home Based Palliative Care & Support services to people diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. We strive for quality of live and continuity of care.

St Bernardโ€™s Hospice provides palliative care (holistic care and support) to patients (adults and children) diagnosed with a life threatening illness such as Cancer, Motor Neuron Disease, Multiple Sclerosis ; HIV/AIDS, Multi Drug Resistant TB, etc., as well as emotional support and counselling, which extends into the bereavement period to their families. It is a home based care service where we vi

sit patients in their homes to all the communities in East London. On average, we provide direct care and counselling to 400 patients per month in their homes. On admitting a patient to St Bernardโ€™s Hospiceโ€™s, we adopt the whole family and therefore do not only take care of the patient, but the entire household. On average, each patient has five family members and therefore we reach approximately 2 000 people per month. This includes infected, affected and vulnerable children. Being a Non-Profit Organization, as well as that we do not turn patients away when they are in need of our care and do not have the financial means to contribute towards this care; we rely heavily on our own local fundraising efforts and due to our passion to provide a quality and sustainable service to our patients, we also participate physically in raising the necessary funds. Please support St Bernard's Hospice - it is your hospice, founded by yourselves in 1991. .....We thank you for your continues support with the most sincere gratitude.

What Does Palliative Care Really Look Like?
Palliative care is not only about medicine.

๐Ÿ’™ It is about comfort.
๐Ÿ’™ It is about dignity.
๐Ÿ’™ It is about helping someone feel seen, heard, and supported.

At St Bernard's Hospice, care can look like a quiet visit, a gentle conversation, symptom support, family guidance, or simply being present when things feel uncertain.

Every person's journey is different. That is why our care is personal.

We walk alongside patients and families, helping each day hold a little more comfort where possible.

We're Here to Help. Whether you have questions about hospice care, need support, or would like to learn more about what we do, we'd love to hear from you.

At St Bernard's Hospice, we care for patients from all walks of life including both those with and those without medical aid.

What stays the same is the care!

Every patient and family is met with compassion, dignity and respect.

The support we receive through fundraising helps us continue offering care at no cost, or at a greatly reduced cost, for those who cannot afford it.

Because everyone deserves to be supported through serious illness with kindness and dignity.

Last week, we celebrated the true spirit of Mandela Day โ€“ kindness, compassion, and caring for others.

A heartfelt thank you to the Rotary Anns for reminding our St Bernard's Hospice team that they, too, deserve to be cared for. Your thoughtful gesture brought encouragement, smiles, and renewed strength to our staff, who work tirelessly to care for patients and families during some of life's most difficult moments.

Your kindness is a powerful reminder that even those who give so much need to feel supported and appreciated.

Thank you Anna, for choosing to spend your Mandela Day with our St Bernard's Hospice family. Your generosity and compassion have touched our hearts.

๐Ÿ’™ Together, we continue to make every moment matter. Gately Rotary Club

Today, on Mandela Day, we are reminded that care lives in the way we show up for one another.

๐Ÿ’™ A listening ear.
๐Ÿ’™ A helping hand.
๐Ÿ’™ A donation given with kindness.
๐Ÿ’™ A moment of time shared freely.

At St Bernard's Hospice, these acts of care become part of something much bigger. They help us walk alongside patients and families during some of life's most difficult days.

This Mandela Day, we honour the spirit of service, compassion and community. Thank you to every person who chooses to make someone else's journey a little lighter.

Mandela Day is coming up on Saturday. For many, it is a reminder that kindness does not need to be complicated to matter.

At St Bernard's Hospice, we see every day how small acts of care can bring comfort to patients and families.

This Mandela Day, we invite our community to think about how they would like to give back.

๐Ÿ’™ It could be time.
๐Ÿ’™ It could be a donation.
๐Ÿ’™ It could be helping us share awareness of the care we provide.

However you choose to show support, it all forms part of something meaningful.

Whether you'd like to volunteer, make a donation or simply learn more about the work we do, our team would love to hear from you.

๐Ÿ’™ Sometimes all it takes is listening... and then choosing to make a difference.

A heartfelt thank you to Cash Leaders, Chiselhurst and especially Charmaine, who heard our interview on Link FM on Wednesday, 24 June, and turned our call for support into action by generously donating an incredible Air Fryer for our upcoming Moments that Matter - St Bernard's Ladies Brunch Fundraiser! ๐ŸŽ‰
