St John’s celebrates and amplifies life, enabling people to live well for as long as possible. As well as our Inpatient Unit and Wellbeing Centre located in St John’s Wood, we work out in the community, in people’s homes, providing care to more than 4,000 people with life-limiting illnesses and their families across North London. This wouldn't be possible without the generosity of people like you.
Your donation will help us be there for patients and their families when it matters most. Whether it’s supporting a child through bereavement counselling, funding art therapy sessions in our Wellbeing Centre or helping families with respite care. Families just like Veronica and Riccardo's.
38-year-old Veronica and her husband, Riccardo, moved to the UK from Italy just a few months before Veronica received her cancer diagnosis. The couple found themselves in a new country and separated from their usual support networks when, in their own words, their “world was turned upside down.”
“It was a lot to face, and the hospice helped ease that pressure, that initial shock of the diagnosis and how our lives were going to drastically change overnight,” Veronica explains.
“The St John’s Community team came to us at home. As well as being a source of pain and symptom control, our community nurse discussed the new situation we found ourselves in, the medications I was now going to be on, setting up the equipment I would need, and organised visits from their therapists. They also referred us to the day services at the hospice and made sure that in those months when I struggled to walk, the ambulance came to pick me up, so I never missed a week.”
“They helped us realise we weren’t alone and that there was this amazing community we were a part of and that we could be supported by.”
With your support, we can continue to be there for even more patients just like Veronica and their loved ones.
