For over 40 years, Wigan & Leigh Hospice has supported adults across the Wigan borough with expert palliative care tailored to each individual.
Whether at home, in a care setting, or in our 14-bed Inpatient Unit in Hindley, we’re here to provide comfort, dignity, and support when it matters most.
Our care is shaped by close partnerships with GPs, the District Nursing Service, care home teams, students, and other health and social care professionals – working together to ensure every patient receives the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
At Wigan & Leigh Hospice, our aim is to meet the needs of every adult in the Wigan borough who requires palliative and end-of-life care – ensuring timely, fair access to high-quality services delivered by skilled staff and dedicated volunteers. We’re also here for those closest to them, offering the support and guidance they need during difficult times.
We provide outstanding care, specialist support, and trusted information for people living with life-limiting illness, as well as those facing the end of life and bereavement.
While our services are free of charge, they’re only possible thanks to the generosity of our local community. We’re proud to be supported by over 500 volunteers, whose time, compassion, and commitment help us deliver a wide range of services every day.
Wigan & Leigh Hospice is regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Charity Commission.
The Trustees are all volunteers who ensure proper governance of the hospice. Their role is to agree and monitor the strategic direction and ensure that we operate within the various regulatory frameworks and remain true to our mission, objectives and values. They also act as ambassadors for the hospice at external events.
