Weve spent over 40 years helping people die in peace and with dignity. Combining compassion with clinical expertise we provide patients with the best possible care at the end of their lives.

Were here for the people around our patients too those closest to them. Before during and after a bereavement we provide support thats remembered forever.

We think its that unforgettable support that inspires people to give back to St Peters. To fundraise for us. Donate. Volunteer. Were not exaggerating when we say that we couldnt do what we do without our wonderful supporters. We really cant thank them enough.

We want to help many more people to die well. And were doing this by teaching others. As a centre of educational excellence we share our skills with other health professionals helping the NHS and care homes to provide better end-of-life care.

Were here for all for free forever.
