Look Forward
Hospice in the Weald’s Cottage Hospice is
opening this autumn. This new Hospice is the
first of its kind in the UK, enabling more patients
at the end of life to continue to be cared for
by their loved ones. The Hospice will be run by
highly skilled, trained volunteers supported by
nursing staff. These volunteers will assist family
caregivers looking after their loved ones in
ten bedrooms that offer a home-from-home
environment. hospiceintheweald.org.uk
