South Devon hospice donates £24,000 towards new support service

Rowcroft Hospice in South Devon has introduced a new, volunteer-led listening and support service for patients and their families, following a successful funding bid.

Entitled the ‘Rowcroft Listening and Support Service,’ the new provision enables a team of Rowcroft’s specially trained volunteers to offer emotional support to patients and their families during the end of life period.

The hospice has been donated grants totalling £24,000 to establish the new service, which will initially run for a trial period of 12 months.

The grants have generously been donated by the CSIS Charity Fund, via Hospice UK, and the Newton Abbot Hospital League of Friends.
