The hospice provides the most up to date methods of pain and symptom control; they support the physical emotional and spiritual needs of all patients and their families, and aim to help all involved to come to terms with their illness in a loving and supportive atmosphere. The care is provided by a dedicated team of professionals, supported by loyal volunteers and is free to our patients and their families. Hospice care is expensive because of the amount of time given to patients. To be able to provide the right care for all patients and their families they have to raise a great deal of money locally. Although they receive Government funding, the difference between that and their running costs is nearly £1 million a year. They receive a regular source of income from two retail shops in Newport and one in Ventnor.

Fundraising is ongoing and vital to the survival of the Hospice.

All donations made to WightCAM will be forwarded in full to The Earl of Mountbatten Hospice.
