Who are we?

St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth is an independent charity providing specialist care and support to people with progressive life-limiting illnesses in Plymouth, South West Devon and East Cornwall. We believe that everyone deserves quality end of life care, no matter where.

Our vision is a community where no person has to die alone, in pain or distress.

Visit our care for more information.

What do we do?

We care for over 300 patients and their families at any given time. This specialist care is provided by a multi-disciplinary team of doctors, nurses, social workers and occupational therapists to patients and their families at home and at our specialist unit at Turnchapel

We are dedicated to ensuring that everyone in our community is educated and informed when it comes to end of life care. Our education team engage with the local community in an effort to train and empower individuals and organisations to work in partnership to provide excellent care in all environments and across all services.

How can you help?

It costs over £13.6 million to run St Luke’s services. While we receive government support for 30% of that, the majority is from our local community. This would not be possible if it wasn’t for you, our supporters.

There are lots of ways that you can support us, from taking part in an event to raising money at work or making a monthly donation. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll be helping us to ensure everyone in our community receives the best care and support at the end of their life.

Find out how you can get involved with St Luke’s events and campaigns here.

A Cup of Care: How Linda’s Coffee Mornings raised nearly £8,000 for St Luke’s

For more than six years, Linda Ryder has poured love, resilience and countless cups of coffee into supporting St Luke’s. What began as her personal way of giving back after her own diagnosis soon grew into a much loved community tradition - a series of coffee mornings that brought people together and raised an incredible £7,981.35 to help others experiencing similar. It was after Linda went through chemotherapy after being diagnosed with breast cancer that she decided she wanted to do her bit and return the support she had received.

Road to London: Stu’s story

For Stu Collyer, running has never come naturally - certainly not the kind of miles that lead to the London Marathon, and definitely not the kind of training carried out on the cramped flight deck of a Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship.
