St Peter’s Hospice cares for adults with life-limiting illnesses in Bristol and offers support to their loved ones.

It also provides teaching for healthcare professionals on how to treat patients towards the end of their lives.

St Peter’s was founded in 1978 and by the end of that year, had four nurses. From humble beginnings, the hospice has grown and grown, and is now based in Brentry.
The charity has 20 shops in Bristol and successfully raised £2.53 million to build a 21st Century Hospice. The hospice treats over 2675 patients a year.
The team at the hospice offers a wide variety of events across the Bristol area, including several annual runs and the popular Tour de Bristol.
In October 2019, the hospice will go international as the team heads to The Great Wall of China on their first overseas fundraising campaign.
There are plenty of volunteering opportunities at the hospice, from working at the hospice itself, to one of their many shops across the city, as well as helping out at events.
On Saturday, December 15, a special remembrance service will be held at the hospice in Brentry from 3pm, with carols, readings, and candle lighting. Spaces are limited so call 01275 391 400 to reserve a space.
