Pendleside Hospice

Pendleside Hospice Our first service, a telephone helpline, was provided from a small office in the old Marsden Hospital.
(211)

Pendleside Hospice exists to promote and enhance the quality of life for people with advancing long term and life limiting illnesses, as well as provide support for their families and carers 💛 Local people commenced fundraising in October 1988 to provide hospice care for Burnley and Pendle people diagnosed with cancer and other life limiting-illnesses. A day care service soon followed and we were

allocated space at Pendle Community Hospital, whilst fundraising continued to build the Hospice, which opened in 1997. Since then, many thousands of local people have benefitted from our specialist palliative and end-of-life services. We now offer day therapy, specialist physiotherapy, complementary therapies, inpatient care, 24/7 hospice at home, counselling, bereavement support and spiritual care. Pendleside was built “by the people and for the people of Burnley and Pendle”; a statement that remains true today. Our vital services are only possible because of the outstanding charitable support of local people, who have given generously to Pendleside over many years. Without that support, the Hospice wouldn't be able to provide care that is relied upon by so many local families at very difficult times in their lives.

Meet the Team Wednesday ✨

Helen – Quality, Education & Outreach Facilitator

Helen has been part of the Pendleside family for 10 years, joining us in April 2016 after working as a Staff Nurse within the NHS.

Her passion for palliative and end of life care began during her nursing training, following a placement at Manorlands Hospice. She joined Pendleside’s Hospice at Home team, where she progressed to Team Leader, before recently moving into her new role within our Quality & Education team.

Helen now helps facilitate education across the Hospice and works with local care homes to build knowledge and confidence around advance care planning and end of life care. She is passionate about helping people feel more comfortable having difficult conversations about death and dying, while keeping patients’ wishes at the heart of their care.

Helen said: “I love that Pendleside is a community. We all work towards the same goal, supporting patients to live the best lives they can, ensuring their wishes are carried out and their families are looked after.”

Outside of work, Helen enjoys cycling on her electric bike – which she admits is a bit of cheating! 😂 She also loves a good day out shopping.

Congratulations to Helen on her new role! We’re so pleased to see her continue her Pendleside journey and wish her all the very best in her new position. 💛

When Susan was admitted to Pendleside Hospice for symptom control, it wasn't long before the team discovered just how much she loved animals.

During her stay, Susan told the team that, if she could go anywhere, she would love to visit the zoo, with a kangaroo high on her list. So when a kangaroo and her baby joey arrived at Pendleside as part of our Community Day teddy tombola collection, there was only one person they had in mind. 🦘

The kangaroo teddy was taken straight to Susan's room, and her face lit up. She gave it a big kiss before holding it close to her chest. 💛

Susan said: “Ooh, I just love it, it is going to cuddle me is that.”

She added: “Usually I would be cuddling a cat at home, and this is the closest thing I could get. It is beautiful. Thanks for thinking of me.”

And the animal-themed surprises didn't stop there. Susan joined in with Community Day, heading outside to enjoy the celebrations and, of course, having her face painted as a tiger. 🐯

For Susan, it’s the little things that have made such a difference during her time at Pendleside.

“There has not been one single person that has walked in that door without a big smile on their face. The difference that makes!”
