When you choose to support The Mary Stevens Hospice, you’re not only helping us provide care today, you’re helping us protect the future of the hospice, ensuring that people in our community will always have somewhere to turn when they need it most.
At The Mary Stevens Hospice, Spiritual Care is not one thing; it is many. Whatever gives a person peace or meaning, we are here to honour it - making space for comfort and reflection in life’s important moments.
Our Spiritual Care team is supported by volunteers and are here to listen and honour what matters most. For some, that may be prayer or ritual; for others, music, nature or stillness.
We help create meaningful ceremonies and blessings, from weddings to intimate moments of reflection and celebration. Our two Peace Rooms provide calm, welcoming spaces for people of all faiths or none - places to pause, light a candle, or simply sit in quiet peace.
If you’re unsure what to expect from our Spiritual Care services, please get in touch.
Here, every belief and every moment of meaning is honoured...
Spiritual support is always here when it’s needed most. Our team is available at any time, offering quiet presence, listening ears, and compassionate guidance. Whether someone finds comfort in prayer, rituals, or simply in silence, we make space for what matters most to them.
When specific faith traditions are important, we can also call upon local faith leaders to provide the support that feels right. However it is experienced, our focus is the same - creating moments of peace, dignity and meaning in the midst of challenging times.
We understand that Spiritual Care may feel new or unfamiliar. Here are answers to our most common questions.
