About the Princess Alice Hospice

Princess Alice Hospice is a charity providing all patient care and support free of charge.

For more than 30 years, we have given outstanding, specialist end of life care to tens of thousands of adult patients, and support to their families and friends. The area we cover is across a large part of Surrey, south west London and Middlesex.

Today, at any one time, Hospice nurses, doctors and other specialist staff are looking after more than 800 people in need. The Hospice has a mission: to reach out to even more people by delivering outstanding care to those that need it. To enable us to do this we will rely on the commitment and support of our communities who help us raise vital funds.
