This Christmas, St Luke's Hospice will continue caring for terminally ill people in Sheffield, providing pain and symptom management to help patients make the most of their holidays. Most patients will be cared for at home by community nurses, but some may stay at the In Patient Centre for round-the-clock specialist care. Government funding only covers 25% of costs, so donations to St Luke's Christmas Appeal will make a huge difference for patients dealing with terminal illness.

1. This Christmas we will continue
caring for Sheffield people living
with a terminal illness.
Registered Charity No. 254402
The people we care for have more need than ever to make the most of every moment,
particularly special occasions like Christmas. Our teams will be working as hard as ever
throughout the festive season to care for patients and support them with pain and
symptom management, enabling them to have the best possible Christmas.
This festive season, most of our patients will be cared for in their own homes by our
community team. Our Community nurses support patients with relief from symptoms
and can work with GPs and other health professionals to develop care programmes to
meet their individual needs.
Other patients may be staying with us on our In Patient Centre, where they will have
round the clock, specialist care from our team of medical consultants, specialist
registrars, doctors and nurses.
Government funding covers just 25% of our running costs and with many events being
cancelled this year due to the pandemic, any gift you are able to give this Christmas will
make a huge difference to people across Sheffield, affected by terminal illness.
