We are here for the people of North Derbyshire and beyond. We work together with energy, care and compassion so that people can have a good death in a place of their choosing and know that their loved ones are important to us too.

About Ashgate Hospice


Tags: Health & Medical Hospice & Palliative Care

We aim to provide, educate and campaign for excellent palliative and end-of-life care and bereavement support. We aspire to be a centre of excellence – working as part of the wider health system with energy, openness and compassion.

We provide palliative and end-of-life care free of charge to people aged 18 and over. We care for people living with a life-limiting illness, including cancer, neurological diseases, and end-stage heart, kidney and lung diseases.

We aim to ensure that our patients are well informed, supported and pain free. While our purpose is to provide end-of-life care, our work doesn’t only begin at the very end of someone’s life. We can help improve quality of life soon after a terminal diagnosis. We also support people’s loved ones to ensure they get the practical, emotional and bereavement support they need.

Your Impact

Last year, thank to the support of people like you, we cared for:
- 2,351 people living with a life-limiting illness
- 1,307 people in their own homes
- 293 people on our Inpatient Unit at Old Brampton
- 894 people with counselling and bereavement support

Last year, we cared for thousands of people across North Derbyshire at the end of their lives. Our quality of care can only be achieved through the energy, care and compassion of our staff, volunteers and our loyal supporters. To everyone who has supported Ashgate Hospice, a heartfelt thank you.
