    Cicely Saunders - pioneer of the modern day hospice movement.

    It is wonderfully inspiring when someone finds the time, energy, wisdom and inspiration to bring about a change that helps so many in crisis.

    Dame Cicely Saunders had a young close friend dying of cancer and was very distressed by all he was going through. She determined to draw on her nursing and social care experience to set up places to train staff to care for those, like her friend, for whom there was no cure or helpful treatment, and who were facing potentially increasing pain of body, mind and spirit.

    As a result, St Christopher’s Hospice was founded.
