We provide free care, 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week

At St Andrew’s Hospice, we care for and support people affected by life-limiting conditions or who are coming to the end of their life. You can come and go as you please, order takeaways, bring your pets - at St Andrew’s Hospice, it’s all about you.  

Care ranges from overnight stays and respite, to outpatient visits and wellbeing programmes. We work closely with NHS healthcare professionals, providing services under one roof for those who need us.

Skydive

Take on the challenge of a lifetime… and change a life!

Picture this – you’re 15,000 feet above the ground, you can hear the sound of the aircraft and feel the rush of the wind flying past the open doorway. Your heart is pounding and you’re on the edge of your seat.  You wait for the signal. Then you jump.

Fear, thrill, wonder … skydiving will fire you from one emotion to the next, promising to be an experience you’ll never forget.

Join us at Skydive Hibaldstow and make a moment that counts – for yourself and for people in the local area living with a life-limiting condition. The money you raise will make a real difference to our patients in the last months, weeks and days of their life.

The experience you’ll have … priceless.
