The Garden House Hospice

10th June 2015

Situated in Letchworth Garden City, the Garden House Hospice was opened in June 1990 and serves the communities of Baldock, Hitchin, Letchworth, Royston, Stevenage and the surrounding villages of North Hertfordshire.

Garden House is a registered charity offering hospice care and support to patients from the community with a terminal diagnosis. Volunteers play an enormous part in helping the Hospice to run smoothly and efficiently, giving their time freely working as part of the multi-disciplinary team and in support of fundraising activities.

Services are offered free of charge to patients and families needing the support of Garden House. A contract with the East and North Herts Primary Care Trust contributes towards the day to day running costs of the hospice but, as a registered charity, Garden House is dependent on voluntary donations and fundraising activities to raise, approximately, in excess of £1 million per year in order to maintain the current level of services.

Charity of the Year

Garden Square has nominated the Garden House Hospice as our charity of the year for 2015 and are working alongside them to help generate much needed funds for this excellent cause.

“We are very pleased to be working with Garden Square Shopping Centre and to be their charity of the year. After the success of Santa’s Grotto in December 2014, we were delighted to be invited to be part of the Easter Workshop the centre also ran. Every penny raised from such events is used for the benefit of our patients and their families.”

Karen Rabjohn, Head of Fundraising for Garden House Hospice
