The specialist team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counsellors and physiotherapists provide a holistic service, offering physical, social and spiritual support to those facing life-threatening illness.

Each situation is different and Harris HospisCare treats everyone as an individual, striving to make their own unique situation better. The charity works hard particularly to support patients in their own home which, for the majority, is where they wish to be cared for.

The care they offer encompasses not just the care of the patient, but extends to their family and friends, giving support and understanding to all those affected.

The Harris Day Hospice is based in Orpington. The charity needs to raise over £2 million each year to continue its service.

All of Harris HospisCare's services are provided to patients free of charge - but the services still have to be paid for, largely through donations and fundraising activities.

If you are an individual or an organisation, you can help by taking part in a fundraising event or challenge or by sending a donation.

Please contact fundraising@harrishospiscare.org.uk or call the Fundraising Team on: 01689 825755 to discuss how you can help.
