St Leonards Hospice

When is the service available?
How much will it cost?	We provide care for free, but it’s not free to provide. It costs £10.5 million to run our services, and we receive only about quarter of our funding from the NHS. We must raise over £7.5 million a year through fundraising, retail and gifts in Wills, and we make sure as much as possible goes directly to patient care and facilities.
