St Giles Hospice - Our Five Year Strategy - 2017-2022 St Giles Five Year Strategy 2017 | Page 15

“St Giles Hospice has and continues to
demonstrate a willingness and ability
to challenge the current arrangement to
improve service provision and their desire to
innovate and diversify will allow them to play
a pivotal role in influencing the future model
of end of life care.” NHS Commissioner
“Since I’ve been working at St Giles, I’ve
been blown away by the level of support
we get from the community. People give
so generously of their time, money and
donations to shops. There’s a real warmth
towards St Giles, which mirrors that warmth
you feel when you come into any of our
centres and shops. I’m really proud to
work here.” Member of staff
“My friend was in St Giles for about two weeks
and she received really wonderful care. It
sounds funny to say but she was really happy
and content there in those last couple of
weeks of her life. And although we were a
group of best friends, we were treated like
family. The staff supported us and were really
respectful of the fact we just wanted to spend
time with her.” Patient’s friend
“Through my time volunteering for St Giles I
have got to know a lot of people and it’s been
such a sociable and rewarding experience
to volunteer for the charity. You have the
opportunity to meet such lovely people and
working to give something back is amazing.”
