NORTH WEST HOSPICE CHARITY COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

North West Hospice Charity Company Limited By Guarantee delivers specialist palliative-care services with compassion to anyone living with a life-limiting illness in the north-west community. Whether patients are at home, in a nursing home, a hospital or within the hospice itself, the organisation provides 24-hour medical and nursing care, complemented by a full suite of supportive therapies-including social work, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and spiritual support.

The hospice's multidisciplinary team of nurses, doctors and social workers works closely with each person's GP and public health nurse, ensuring a seamless, person-centred approach. In addition, a dedicated Hospital Palliative Care Team based at Sligo University Hospital extends this expertise to in-patients and their families, while also offering guidance to the hospital's medical and nursing staff.

Beyond direct care, North West Hospice engages the wider community through podcasts, fundraising events, volunteer programmes and educational initiatives such as the annual Light-up-a-Life event and the Transition Year roadshow. These activities not only raise vital funds but also raise awareness of palliative care, reinforcing the hospice's role as a cornerstone of compassionate support in the region.
