Background

Jersey Hospice Care was first founded in 1982, operating from an office in Stopford Road. The first Clarkson House was opened in Grouville in 1985 and Jersey Hospice Care opened at Mont Cochon at the end of 1995. The charity has grown enormously since it first began with just a small Home Care team led by Sue McAllister. The first public meeting calling for volunteers was held in 1982 and 68 people signed up.

In 2010 Jersey Hospice Care Fundraising Limited and Jersey Hospice Care Retail Limited were incorporated to raise funds for Jersey Hospice Care. There are now about 60 members of full and part time staff and around 500 volunteers who help specialist staff across all departments.

 Clarkson House redevelopment

In 2010 we began extending our facilities at our base on Mont Cochon and we now have a 12 bed In-Patient Unit including a chapel and chapel of rest. Work on the latest phase of the programme will be completed in 2014 comprising a new Day Hospice and Therapies suite, an enhanced kitchen and kitchen garden, a coffee bar and training rooms.
