Charities
Kirkwood, the Hospice for Kirklees, cares for local people who face life-threatening illness, for example cancer, late stage heart failure or severe lung disease. The Hospice provides 16 in-patient beds, day care services in the hospice’s Support & Therapy Centre, including a drop-in service at the hospice every Friday and bereavement services in the Family Care Centre, which includes care & support for bereaved children. There is also a team of three palliative care specialist nurses, who provide advice and support in patients’ own homes and an education centre providing palliative care education and training.
Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research. Over half of all cancer research in the UK is carried out by our scientists. We have discovered new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer that together have saved millions of lives across the world. We have been at the heart of the progress that has already seen survival rates double in the last thirty years. But one in three of us will still get cancer at some point in our lives. Our groundbreaking work, funded entirely by the public, will help ensure that millions more people will survive.
