Welcome to Hartlepool and District Hospice
Throughout 2010 here at Hartlepool and District Hospice we will be commemorating 30 years of local hospice care. As we celebrate it’s a great chance to look back on our history and see just how far we’ve come from that first meeting in 1980. Those present could only have hoped thirty years later Hartlepool and District Hospice would still be providing vital care for local people.
Hartlepool and District Hospice would not be what it is today if it hadn’t been for the vision and determination of our founder, local mum, Alice Bendle. But this success was not due to her alone, we would not have lasted thirty year without the support and dedication of the many volunteers, staff, friends and supporters who have helped us along the way. And their belief in the vision to provide local specialist care for people affected by life limiting illness or the death of a loved one has impacted so many lives.
To mark the occasion we have produced a special edition calendar showing significant service developments and events that have made Hartlepool and District Hospice what it is today. There will also be a series of events and activities throughout the year that you can get involved in so keep coming back to our website for more details.
Thank you to everyone who has played their part in making Hartlepool and District Hospice what it is today.
All the best for 2010
