Lakelands Day Care Hospice was set up as a direct response to the needs of local Corby people living with cancer, heart failure and other life-limiting illnesses.
Worked at the hospice since: 2015. Its good to see the difference that the Trust and Grants income stream makes to our patients, their carers and families. I have first hand experience of using our services for my father and my late husband so understand the impact or services have on the family of a loved one.
