All of our information is freely available from the hospice. For additional information please contact us or look at our weblinks.


SUPPORT
Our Information and Support Service is able to provide both emotional and practical support to anyone has been affected by a serious illness.

We can offer you time in a relaxing environment to talk about any anxieties or fears you may have.

Practically we are also able to offer support, whether it's where to get help with equipment for a home, how to alter your home , help with your gardening, where to apply for grants etc.

We can also provide advice and information on many local and national support organisations. Please contact us for details.


OUTREACH
Last year we started an outreach service where we take our Information and Support Service out into the local community.

Our aim is to help and support members of the community who are either unaware of our service or are unable to access the service here in Stratford. We currently visit local community groups and libraries. Details of our visits are on our News and Events Page.

During these visits you will be able to talk to one of our Information and Support Advisors and look through some of the information available to you.
