Business Profile

St Helena Hospice helps local people face incurable illness and bereavement, supporting them, their families, friends and carers. It also help adults and children in north east Essex who have been bereaved, regardless of how or where their loved one died.
St Helena supports members of the community, helping them make their own choices and live with dignity. By focusing on their physical, emotional and spiritual needs, it aims to bring comfort and relief to all those who need it, offering the people of north east Essex individual care and total support, regardless of their diagnosis or personal circumstances.
Support is provided where and when it is needed, whether at home, at the Hospice or over the phone through the 24/7 advice line, SinglePoint.
Only 27% of St Helena’s income comes from the NHS. That means 73% of the income needed to run St Helena is raised through the local community. That includes through people playing Your Hospice Lottery, giving donations, buying in St Helena shops, and leaving gifts in Wills as well as supporting our cleaning, arts and crafts classes and home care businesses.
St Helena relies heavily on the help and generosity of our fundraisers, donors and volunteers. Without them they wouldn’t be here.
I joined St Helena as their Corporate Fundraiser in November 2023, having previously volunteered for their Fundraising and Lottery Teams. It is a charity I feel very passionately about and I am looking to work with caring and compassionate corporates who share our organisational values of being bold, passionate and caring and who wish to support a great cause.
