About Us

We’ve spent over 40 years helping people die in peace, and with dignity. Combining compassion with clinical expertise, we provide patients with the best possible care at the end of their lives.

We’re here for the people around our patients too – those closest to them. Before, during and after a bereavement, we provide support that’s remembered forever.

We think it’s that unforgettable support that inspires people to give back to St Peter’s. To fundraise for us. Donate. Volunteer. We’re not exaggerating when we say that we couldn’t do what we do without our wonderful supporters. We really can’t thank them enough.  

We want to help many more people to die well. And we’re doing this by teaching others. As a centre of educational excellence, we share our skills with other health professionals, helping the NHS and care homes to provide better end-of-life care. 

We’re here for all, for free, forever.
