Visiting our hospices, shops and donation centres

We’re continuing with the following measures for the foreseeable future:

At our hospices all front-line staff will continue to wear the necessary and extra PPE on the wards and visitors are being asked to carry on wearing masks if they are able to. At present we can only welcome designated patient visitors into our hospices – we are unable to welcome other visitors at this time.

In our shops and donation centres, our staff and volunteers will continue to wear masks/visors and till screens and sanitiser stations remain in place. We are also encouraging our customers to continue to wear a face covering if they are able to.

We hope you understand our stance and thank you for your support. As a health care charity, keeping everyone safe is paramount to us and without the income from our shops we can’t operate our hospices.

Latest Events News

If cycling is your thing, we have the perfect event for you!

Our Coast and Clay Sportive on Sunday 17th July has routes to suit everyone from beginners to the hardened cyclist who likes a challenge and all finishers get a medal!

All the routes start and finish at Prideaux Place, Padstow and the routes take in stunning coastlines, country lanes and clay country landscapes. The route is well signposted, with strategically placed marshals, well-stocked feed stations and a few hills!

Or if you like to keep your feet on the ground, why not join us on 10th and 11th September 2022 for our Saint’s Way Trek right here in Cornwall!

Grab some friends or family and your walking boots to trek the ancient and iconic Saint’s Way from Padstow to Fowey over 2 days, with a camping stop overnight at Mena Farm near Lanivet. The walk is supported by our own Fundraising Team, with route instructions, feed stations along the way and the option of walking with a volunteer guide too.

Shops & Donation Centres

We have charity shops from Penzance in the very west to our most northerly in Bude, and from Perranporth on the north coast to Looe on the south coast! As well as traditional charity shops we also have furniture shops at Penryn, Truro, St Austell and Bodmin, a Bargain Outlet in Redruth and a Retro and Vintage shop in Penryn.

Cornwall Hospice Care Covid-19 statement

Cornwall Hospice Care has ensured Covid-19 risk assessments have been carried out in all areas of our charity. Where required, adjustments have been made to ensure working environments are as Covid secure as is practically possible.

The safety of our patients, their families, our staff, volunteers, customers and supporters is paramount. We work closely with all relevant authorities and advisory bodies to ensure we are following current guidelines, implementing any changes as necessary.

Thank you!

In these challenging times our world has changed in many different ways. However, the one constant has been the care we provide at our two hospices that have remained open 24/7 admitting patients to our 20 end-of-life and specialist palliative care beds.

As a charity we rely heavily on the support of the people of Cornwall, people like you, who leave us legacies, support our virtual fundraising events, play our lottery and donate to, and buy in, our shops and donation centres.

Thank you, we need you now more than ever!
