Cornwall Hospice Care

Cornwall Hospice Care is the charity that encompasses the only two adult hospices in Cornwall - St. Julia's in Hayle and Mount Edgcumbe in St Austell. As a charity we aim to deliver specialist care to those with life limiting illnesses in our hospices and out in the Cornish community. We also offer practical and emotional support to patients, their family and their carers.

The charity has less than 20% funding from the NHS, this means that the majority of our care and everything we do is funded by people like you signing up to our events and helping us raise money to keep our hospices running. It’s thanks to you, that we continue to make every day matter.
