St Peter’s Hospice is Bristol’s only adult hospice caring for local people with life-limiting illnesses. All care is provided free of charge. Last year they cared for over 2,200 patients and supported over 6,000 family members, including children. Much of this care was provided in patient's own homes.
It costs over £6.5million and the NHS contributes just 25% of their annual running costs. For the rest, St Peter's Hospice are totally reliant on the generosity of the public, so that is why we have chosen them as our charity for 2012. Read more about St Peter's Hospice here.
