You have the power to change lives with a gift in your will to Dorothy House
We’re proud to join with 143 hospices across England, Scotland, and Wales as part of Hospice UK’s #ThisIsHospiceCare campaign.
1 in 5 of our patients is cared for with thanks to gifts in wills. By leaving a gift in your will, you can help us continue providing vital care, ensuring that everyone has the support they need for generations to come.
Every gift, no matter the size, makes a huge difference. Together with your support, we can protect the future of hospice care.
We're here for you
We provide palliative and end of life care to adults (18+) with a progressive, treatable but not curable life-limiting illness or with severe frailty, and also their family (including children) and carers.
We care for people across our 800sq mile catchment area which covers Bath & North East Somerset (BaNES), and parts of Wiltshire and Somerset. Our services provide physical, psychological and/or spiritual support, and are free of charge. We’re available day and night to ensure that you have the right care, at the right time.
When someone is ill, it’s not just the patient who is affected. Life can be turned upside down for the family and for friends and carers. That’s why we’re here for you, for as long as you need; our patient, family and carer resources can be accessed via our Information Hub. Our 24hr Advice Line is also available for patients, their families/carers and healthcare professionals who need immediate medical advice on someone’s care.
