Our annual Light Up a Life multi-faith celebration raised over £21,000 to support our Inpatient Unit admissions hours, so that patients, their loved ones and carers can access our specialist care when it’s needed most. Read more about this year's special celebration of love and light.

We’re absolutely thrilled to share that we reached our Big Give Christmas Challenge target, and that, together with Gift Aid, you helped raise an incredible £186,265 in just one week.

Every donation made to our Big Give Christmas Challenge will be doubled, meaning your gift will have double the impact. Donate before midday on Tuesday 9 December, and help us to extend our admissions to provide endless care.

We recognise that grief can take many shapes and follow different timelines. That is why we are proud to announce the launch of our new Grief Café, a weekly drop-in space designed to bring people together in understanding, companionship and shared compassion.

From midday Tuesday 2 December to midday Tuesday 9 December 2025, we’ll be participating in the Big Give Christmas Challenge once again. This is your chance to make double the impact, as every gift made during this week will be matched.

What an unforgettable evening. Last week, we were delighted to welcome so many wonderful supporters to our gala dinner, coming together to raise vital funds for our Hospice@Home service and its exciting expansion into the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.

As the festive season approaches, we are excited to announce the return of our annual Light Up a Life celebration. This year, the event will take place on Monday 8 December 2025, from 6 pm to 8:30 pm. Find out more about this special event.

We are delighted to announce that we are expanding our renowned Hospice@Home service into Hammersmith & Fulham, bringing 24-hour specialist palliative and end-of-life care directly into people’s homes, a first for the borough.

As part of the national “This is Hospice Care” campaign, we’ve been speaking to some of the incredible people who have chosen to leave a gift in their will to St John’s Hospice. Their generosity helps ensure we can continue to provide comfort, dignity, and compassion to patients and families when they need it most.
