Rowans Hospice

Call Directions Website Contact the organisation

Established since 1994, we support more than 1,000 patients and families across Portsmouth and South East Hampshire every year.

Rowans Hospice is a charity offering free specialist Hospice care and bereavement support across South East Hampshire including Waterlooville, Portsmouth, Gosport, Fareham and Hayling Island. We provide our services free from discrimination and free of charge, but it costs £7.2million to continue our vital work, and we rely on charitable giving for 90% of this income.

This week, we would like to show our appreciation to Malcolm Drew for organising a new and very popular "Party on the Pier" event, which took place last month!

Held at the Gaiety Bar in Southsea, this incredible event raised an amazing £3,722 for Rowans, with various live performances, support from local entertainers, and an incredible raffle to end the evening.

Thank you so much, Malcolm, for the wonderful event you hosted in support of the Hospice, and we are looking forward to supporting next year’s Party on the Pier! 💚

When someone we love is no longer with us, certain times of the year can feel particularly difficult. As the festive season approaches, we may find ourselves thinking more about those we miss, the memories we shared and the moments we wish we could experience together again.

Light up a Life is a chance to pause and reflect on the life of someone who will always hold a special place in our hearts.

We invite you to make a dedication in their memory as part of Light up a Life, a simple and meaningful way to remember and celebrate someone special and all that they meant and continue to mean to you.

When making your dedication, you can choose to have their name included in the Order of Service at our Light up a Life Events.

Make your dedication on our website and find out more about the Light up a Life Events – www.rowanshospice.co.uk/light-up-a-life
