About Us
Lewis-Manning Hospice Care is an independent local Dorset charity providing extraordinary care to people and their loved ones facing a life-limiting illness. We support over one thousand patients and families every year in their homes, virtually, and at our hubs across Swanage, Wareham, Poole, Wimborne, Christchurch and Bournemouth.
We offer a range of free hospice care services supporting local people to:
- Live well through their illness
- Alleviate the huge pressures on families and carers as well as NHS services, reducing ambulance call outs, hospital admissions and GP appointments
- Increase physical and social well-being
- Reduce isolation and loneliness
We continually review and develop our services based on listening to what matters to patients, local need and identified gaps in our communities, integrating with other healthcare providers and collaborating across relevant sectors.
We only receive 12% funding from the NHS. Therefore, every year, we need your help to raise money to continue providing our important services in your community for patients and their families.
Without your support we could not exist.
We are Your Hospice, in Your Community.
