Who can access St Clare Hospice’s services?
Our wide range of services are designed to meet the needs of our local community.
At St Clare, we form part of a network of around 200 hospices across the UK, each providing free, palliative care services within their NHS commissioned ‘catchment areas’.
The St Clare Hospice catchment area is West Essex and the East Hertfordshire borders – the community in which we serve and aim to provide responsive care and support for.

Our specialist, medical and therapeutic services are for adults living with a life-limiting illness who are 18+ years old.
Our bereavement services are open to anyone within the local community, including children and young people.
Our community wellbeing services, such as social groups, workshops and activities, are also open-access, available to anyone within the local community.
