Safe Harbour

St Helena’s Safe Harbour project reaches out to people who traditionally have had difficulty accessing hospice services, such as people who are homeless, have a history of drug and alcohol addiction, people with a mental health problem, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ groups, refugees or those living in areas of deprivation.

Safe Harbour helps ensure that vulnerable local people receive the hospice care they need, are able to live well with their incurable illness, and die with dignity in a place of their choice.

Safe Harbour was set up in 2016 and is run in collaboration with Macmillan Cancer Support to help tackle inequalities in care.

Since Safe Harbour's launch, referrals to St Helena have increased significantly in areas of deprivation and we have developed key relationships with homeless support groups, neighbourhood schemes and services for vulnerable people.

In 2018, Safe Harbour won the Innovation in Tackling Inequalities Award at the Hospice UK awards. 

If you think Safe Harbour can support you, please contact Debbie Pigeon by calling SinglePoint on 01206 890 360.

Processing fees

When you make a donation to St Helena Hospice, we are charged transactional fees by other companies, including fees for processing payments made to us, looking up addresses and validating bank account details.

We are very grateful to our donors who offer to offset some of these fees with a minor addition to their total amount. This is however completely optional and we are very grateful for your support whether or not you choose to contribute to processing fees.
