About the Beacon of Hope
What we do
Founded in 2000 the charity was formed to bridge the current gap in support for people coming to terms with the devastating news of a terminal illness. Often there is a sudden loss of income when someone in the family falls ill.
We assist with:
- Benefits Applications
- Appeals
- Tribunals
- We also apply to Benevolent organisations to supplement income or obtain grants to enable people to live the best quality of life in the time they have left. Examples of this include, holiday breaks, renovations,repairs, utility bill payments and purchase of specific goods.
We provide:
Community Volunteer Sitting Service giving carers much needed respite relief.
Meeting Rooms/Drop in Centres
Located at each office for Users, Carers and Volunteers to provide mutual support and exchange of help and information. Somewhere to meet, relax and have a cup of coffee.
A Palliative(Hospice at Home) Nursing Service
Operating in close co-operation with the Primary Health Care Teams and Macmillan Nurses. Our aim is to enable terminally ill people to die at home if that is their wish.
