Hospice at Home provides free care and support to patients and families in the home. This page is managed by the Fundraising Team, Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm.

Hospice at Home is a local charity that provides high quality, specialised care for patients with life-limiting or life-threating illnesses, whilst also supporting their families and carers. The Charity's aim always has been – and always will be – to provide a choice at the end of life and enable a peaceful and dignified death at home. We are there for people at their most vulnerable and give comfort and reassurance when it is most needed. All of our services are free of charge to our patients their family and carers. This would not be possible without the kindness and generosity of the local community who raise funds and generate important awareness of the organisation. The charity receives a grant from the NHS which covers a small percentage of costs, and the rest needs to be raised within our local community.

🎶 Twinkle, twinkle, little star… which nursery rhyme takes you back? 💛

A familiar rhyme can bring back memories of bedtime stories, childhood giggles and time spent with someone we love.

This National Nursery Rhyme Day, we’d love to hear which rhyme holds a special place in your heart — perhaps one you learnt as a child or sang to your own children or grandchildren.

🎄🌻 Christmas Tree Collection 2026, Completed! 🌻🎄

Another year done and dusted and once again our very own Paul & Martin stepped up as Batman and Robin to help make it happen (and Liam our get-away driver!) Thank you all for voting, you all seem to love Batman & Robin best! 💪💪

This was our 7th year volunteering for the Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland Christmas Tree Collection Scheme, and we’re just as proud now as we were the first time they pulled on the fancy dress!
🌻🩵🩷💛🖤🤍

From lifting trees to knocking doors (and raising a few smiles along the way), this brilliant local initiative raises vital funds. They provide free, specialist care and support to people with life-limiting illnesses, helping them stay at home, comfortable, and surrounded by the people they love. Their work supports not just patients, but families too, when it matters most. 💛

This service relies heavily on fundraising and volunteers, and the Christmas Tree Collection is a huge part of that. If you’d like to get involved, whether that’s volunteering, fundraising, attending their charity events or donating, please take a look at what they do and how you can help. Every bit of support genuinely makes a difference.🌻

Massive respect to everyone involved and especially to our caped crusaders for once again giving their time for such an important cause 🩵🩷💛🖤🤍🌻
