Why St Catherine’s Hospice?

Your membership fee – and any money your organisation chooses to raise beyond that – funds the services we provide to thousands of local people and their loved ones, when they need us the most.

St Catherine’s was created by the communities we serve and belongs to those communities. We are also known for innovation, influence and sharing skills to improve palliative care.

We invite your organisation to be part of that, as we build for the future.

The business club’s name comes from the year that St Catherine’s Hospice was founded – 1985.
