Cornwall Hospice Care welcomed Camborne, Redruth and Hayle MP Perran Moon to St Julia’s Hospice in Hayle, giving him the opportunity to meet with staff, volunteers, and leadership to gain a deeper understanding of the charity’s vital work in providing specialist care to people in Cornwall with terminal illnesses.
During the visit, Perran spoke with Frazer Hopkins, Cornwall Hospice Care’s Director of Income Generation, and Owen Crocker, Patient Services Manager at St Julia’s Hospice. He also spent time talking with dedicated staff and volunteers to hear first-hand about their roles in delivering compassionate endof-life care and supporting patients and their families.
Reflecting on his visit, Perran Moon said:
“It was an absolute pleasure to visit St Julia’s Hospice to see the amazing work of staff and volunteers. I am delighted that the Labour government has been able to provide funding for upgrades, and I’d like to thank all staff, volunteers, trustees and donors who, over many years, have created a sanctuary at difficult times for many. The work of the hospice cannot go unrecognised, and I intend to raise St Julia’s Hospice with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Wes Streeting.”
Frazer Hopkins said he was pleased to have the opportunity to discuss how recent capital funding, provided to hospices across the UK, is helping Cornwall Hospice Care progress with its ‘Fit for the Future’ project – a major renovation of Mount Edgcumbe Hospice in St Austell.
“It was wonderful to be able to highlight the importance of the work we do and the huge role the Cornish community plays in supporting us,” said Frazer. “Whether it’s by donating time, goods, or financially, our local community makes an enormous difference. We also discussed the ongoing challenges we face as one of the lowest funded hospices in the UK and the need for fairer, sustainable funding for the future.”
Cornwall Hospice Care runs two adult hospices – St Julia’s in Hayle and Mount Edgcumbe in St Austell – providing free, specialist care to patients, as well as support to their families and carers. The charity relies heavily on fundraising, donations, and its network of retail shops to meet the majority of its running costs.
