St Helena Hospice

For all the people you love

St Helena is a Colchester based charity that provides specialist palliative and end of life care for people living with life-limiting illness across north east Essex. We support patients, families, friends and carers with compassionate care, expert advice and bereavement support at our hospice in Colchester, in people's homes and in our community around Colchester and north east Essex.

As a local charity, we rely on donations, fundraising, volunteering, gifts in Wills and profits from our commercial businesses. Your support helps local people receive dignity, comfort and choice when they need it most.
