How did we do in 2024 to 2025?
We are committed to providing the best care and services to those in our community who need it whenever and wherever.
Let’s take a look at how we performed in our key areas.

Without the support of those in our community, we wouldn’t be able to raise the funds we need to run the Hospice and provide care for those who need it most.

Making a difference
Without the support of our incredible volunteers, donors or shoppers, we wouldn’t be able to provide the care to your community hospice.
This year, volunteers gave more than 58,000 hours of their time. In Retail alone, they provided 47% of total hours worked in our shops, providing us with skills, knowledge and valuable experience. This year our volunteers were publicly recognised when they received the Chichester City Council Community Award for outstanding service to the city. Thank you to every one of you!
Our fundraisers, shoppers and donors – your efforts have helped us to continue caring for people in your local area. Funds raised by you have helped us allow 725 patients remain at home, support 543 with our Family Services team and our Hospice Community Team to make 4,821 visits to those in our community.
From everyone at St Wilfrid’s, thank you. You have made a big difference.

For the second year running, we were commissioned by the Surrey and Sussex Cancer Alliance to deliver two-day Advanced Communication Skills courses - a nationally recognised programme for those working in palliative care. St Wilfrid’s remains the only hospice in Sussex offering this training.
This year, we also developed two new courses: Intimacy, Relationships and Sex towards the End of Life and Inequalities in Palliative Care.
Nationally, we remain closely involved with Hospice UK, contributing to education and training, networking, and sharing best practice across the sector.
