(1)

St Joseph's Hospice (or Jospice) was founded in 1962 by Father Francis O’Leary, while working as a young priest in Pakistan. It is the oldest and largest hospice on Merseyside and has been providing palliative and end of life care for adult patients from across Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley and West Lancashire for more than 40 years. We are a registered charity and our specialist nursing teams care for over 200 people with a wide range of conditions every year. We also care for and support our patients’ families and carers. We have 29 patient rooms and are fortunate to be located in a beautiful setting within a conservation area and 12 acres of natural woodland. We do not charge for our care and rely on our local communities to continue to support the hospice. Around two-thirds of our funding comes from charitable giving, including donations, fundraising and legacies.

🌿 A garden grown with love, kindness and a very special connection 💚

We’re absolutely thrilled that local garden designer and builder James Barnett is generously donating the plants from his award-winning garden at this year’s Southport Flower Show to St Joseph’s Hospice! 🌸🌼

James has a very special connection with our hospice, as his mum spent her final days in our care. His incredibly kind donation will help us create a beautiful garden space where patients, families and friends can relax, find peace and enjoy nature together.

We’re so excited to watch this wonderful garden take shape and see it become a lasting legacy for everyone who comes through our doors to enjoy for years to come. 🌱💚

A huge thank you to James for his generosity and for helping us create something truly special in memory of his mum. ❤️
