In April 2009, St Catherine's Hospice became the local provider of end of life care for people with incurable illnesses in the Tandridge area.

Our community nurses visit people in their own homes and we also run a local day service in Caterham, enabling patients to come together for group support, complementary therapies, and practical help.  Beds are provided at the hospice in Crawley for those needing specialist input from the whole multi-disciplinary team.  Find out more about our East Surrey expansion.

All of our services are provided free of charge and this year we need to raise almost £4.7 million through voluntary donations to continue providing our specialised care.  The support of the local community over the last year has been fantastic and we are so grateful to all of the individuals, groups and organisations who have helped to raise funds and awareness.  Your pledges of ongoing support are very much appreciated.

Councillor Sally Marks said: "I want St Catherine's to be known and valued by us all and there is a very important role for the community to play in supporting their activities.  I am very keen to be involved in this and would be very happy to hear from anyone who would like to help." For more details phone 01883 653134 or email sally.marks@surreycc.gov.uk.

On Friday 14th May 2010, an special concert will be held in aid of the hospice at the prestigious Woldingham School.  Everyone is welcome.  Please click here  for more information.

Thank you to everyone who has raised sponsorship for the hospice by participating in the 2010 Easter Bunny Fun Run, organised by The Rotary Club of Caterham who kindly chose St Catherine’s as the main charity beneficiary.  Sponsorship is still coming in and we look forward to announcing the grand total when it is confirmed!
