More about the Hospice

Care for terminally ill people in Cornwall.

Cornwall Hospice Care runs the only two adult hospices in Cornwall, Mount Edgcumbe in St Austell and St Julia’s in Hayle. With limited funding, the hospice relies on the support of the fantastic community and people taking part in events like the Coast and Clay Sportive.

Every £24 you raise will fund one hour of nursing care in the hospices. By raising sponsorship you will help care for more terminally ill people in Cornwall. 

In 2024 you can make a difference and keep the nurses caring.
