Help shape the future of hospice care in Lancashire and South Cumbria 📣

At Queenscourt Hospice, we’re proud to be working alongside the Hospice and Palliative Care Academy to help identify the research priorities that matter most to our communities.

Following the publication of Marie Curie’s national end-of-life and palliative care research priorities, we want to understand which areas are most important to the people who experience, deliver and support hospice care across our region.

Whether you’re a patient, family member, carer, friend, member of staff or volunteer, your voice can help influence future research and ensure it reflects local needs and concerns.

We’d be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete a short survey and tell us which three priorities you feel should be the focus for future research.

🎁 As a thank you, everyone who completes the survey can enter a prize draw to win a £15 high street voucher.

Thank you for helping shape the future of hospice care. 💜

What an incredible day! 💜💚

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday to celebrate the grand opening of our brand new Queenscourt Hospice Charity Shop in Ainsdale. It was fantastic to see so many friendly faces supporting this exciting new chapter.

From Brenda Porter, Chairman of Ainsdale in Bloom, officially cutting the ribbon alongside professional performer Kelly Bond ✂️, to brilliant live music from the Ukulele Buddies 🎶, the day was full of smiles, community spirit and plenty of bargain hunting!

We were also delighted to welcome two special guests from TikTok, the much-loved Trashy Treasure Hunters, who joined us to celebrate this exciting new addition to the Ainsdale community.
