We can’t add days to your life, but we can add life to your days.
Since 1988, Pendleside Hospice has been a pillar of palliative care, offering support and compassion to individuals, their families, and carers, across Burnley and Pendle. Our services are provided completely free of charge, ensuring that everyone who needs our care can access it. We deliver our services with unwavering dedication, compassion, and respect, always placing people at the heart of everything we do.
As our founder and former Chairman, Muriel Jobling MBE, once said, Pendleside Hospice was built by the community, for the community, a legacy we proudly uphold today. Thanks to our generous supporters, our services continue to grow, allowing us to provide the vital care our patients, families, and carers need.
How your donations make a difference
A £5 donation could pay for a patient’s meal, helping provide comfort and care when it’s needed most.
Join us for our annual Light Up a Life event
As Christmas time approaches, we would love for you to join us and remember your loved ones at this year’s Celebration of Life service on Sunday, 20th December from 2.30pm at Pendleside Hospice.
