Fund raising to build the
Hospice began in 1986 and in 1994 with almost £500.000 raised,
building work began. The Day Care facilities opened to patients in
December 1994 and in August 2007, the six bed roomed in-patient unit
was also opened. Finally in 1998 a new extension was added the
house additional facilities for the busy day care unit.
In 2004 following extensive
discussions to secure the hospice service for the future, it was
decided that the Charity would no longer receive any regular
funding, and in return the clinical costs would be met directly by
the Bassetlaw Primary Care Trust. |

The Charity continues to be
responsible for the running costs, of the building. The
maintenance, replacement and repair of all fixtures, fittings and
equipment within the building, also the funding of all the
complementary services and facilities, including, therapists and
patient transport.
Today the Hospice continues
to provide Day Care facilities for up to fifty patients per week and
In Patient care twenty-four hours a day all year round. Working
closely with GP’s Social Workers, Macmillan, District, and Marie
Curie Nurses, the Hospice has become the centre of the specialist
palliative care within Bassetlaw.
