“Our anniversary holds a special place in our hearts as we reflect on the journey we’ve shared with our community. We’re deeply grateful for the unwavering support from our past and present supporters, dedicated staff, and volunteers who have made our achievements possible. Over the past 40 years, we’ve touched the lives of tens of thousands of individuals, all thanks to the remarkable backing of our local community.

As we pause to commemorate our history, we’re filled with a sense of wonder at how much we’ve grown as a hospice. Looking ahead, we’re fuelled by a renewed sense of purpose, optimism, and commitment to expanding and improving our services. Our mission remains steadfast: to adapt and meet the evolving needs of our community for many more years to come.”

Matt Fellows – Chief Executive

Over the past 40 years, St Michael’s care has only been possible thanks to the incredible hard work, support and commitment of hundreds of volunteers, who have generously given their time and expertise in wide-ranging roles across the hospice – such as volunteering in our shops and cafes, supporting patients in the Inpatient Unit and in the community, helping out at fundraising events and activities, tending to the hospice gardens and volunteering in the hospice’s offices. They are such a big part of our continued success.
