Wigan and Leigh Hospice is a charity which provides care and support to people who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness which is no longer curable.
Our staff are highly skilled in palliative and end of life care and are committed to providing the best care possible for our patients. We support the ‘whole needs’ of our individual patients including their physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs.
We are the national charity for hospice care, supporting over 200 hospices in the UK. We believe that everyone matters throughout their life right up until they die, and that no one should die in avoidable pain or suffering.
Our aim is to make sure that everyone with a life limiting or terminal condition gets the very best care, and we believe hospices are critical to achieving this.
Collectively hospices in the UK care for around 360,000 people every year, and we work closely with them to support their vital work and to create a stronger voice for hospice care. We also support the development of hospice and palliative care worldwide.
