About us

Here at St Helena, we believe that everyone living with an incurable illness has the right to live and die with choice, compassion and dignity. Families deserve to be cared for and anyone coping with loss should be supported through their grief.

Our vision is to create a community where everyone knows that as the end of their story draws near, they will be cared for and die where they choose to be; where loved ones have the opportunity to make the most of life together, surrounded by people who care and support one another.

Since we opened in 1985, this belief drives us to provide the best end of life care and bereavement support to everyone in North East Essex, not just today but for years to come.
