Wellbeing Programme
Our Wellbeing Programme offers activity groups, one-to-one sessions and telephone support for people living with an advanced, progressive illness across Hastings and Rother, and their carers.
Wellbeing groups
All groups have been designed to empower and enable people. Held at the Hospice, groups are led by our Wellbeing Assistants and qualified clinicians from our Rehabilitation, Social Work and Spiritual Support teams.

Guided Relaxation
A chance for patients, family members and carers to try different styles of guided relaxation and learn techniques that support self-care.
