Description

St Ann's Hospice believes that everyone is entitled to the highest possible standard of living.

They offer specialised palliative care to adults suffering from cancer and other life-limiting illnesses at all phases of their condition while seeking to satisfy their unique medical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs and helping maintain their dignity.

They also offer incredible support to families, carers, and friends as they recognise the difficult time this can be for so many.

St Ann's is a truly special place and has, over the years, transformed the lives of people at a time when they need it more than ever.

As all their services are entirely free of charge to patients and their loved ones, the hospice is largely dependent on fundraised income, therefore, we are delighted to be searching for a creative and innovative individual to join the vibrant and dedicated Fundraising Team at the hospice and raise funds to support hundreds of patients and families every year.
