Together, we can do so much.
For over 30 years we have walked beside families across Mayo and Roscommon, bringing specialist care, comfort and dignity, free of charge, when it matters most.
Our latest project
Specialist palliative care, comfort and family support for children with life-limiting conditions across the West of Ireland, and for the families who love them.
“No one should have to face the end of life alone, and for over thirty years, this community has made sure they never do.”
Community palliative care brings specialist nurses to where you feel most yourself, surrounded by the people and place you love.
22 inpatient beds across Mayo and Roscommon, in calm, homely surroundings with room for family to stay close.
Bereavement support for families whenever they are ready, and for as long as they need it. You are never alone.
“Palliative care isn’t about keeping you alive, it’s about keeping you living.”
When Shane Freeman’s cancer could no longer be treated, the care team at Mayo Hospice gave his family something rare: quality time. For 11 weeks, they managed his symptoms so Orla could be his wife again, not his carer. There were day trips, golf lessons with the boys, a wedding anniversary, and the honest conversations that let their three sons say goodbye.
— Orla, Kiltimagh
Each year, your generosity reaches a little further across our two counties, into homes, communities, and the quiet rooms where it matters most.
Care that wraps around the whole family.
From the first anxious days after a diagnosis to the long, quiet months that can follow a loss, our specialist teams are there, gentle, expert, and always free.
However you give, you give someone more comfort when they need it most.
We receive no government funding for many of the costs of running our service. The care that families never pay for is paid for by this community , through gifts, fundraising, volunteering and our 12 shops.
A single or monthly gift funds care that can’t wait.
Run, bake, climb or create — your way, for your hospice.
Give a few hours and become part of something that matters.
Our 12 shops and online store fund vital local services.
Every euro you give funds specialist hospice care that is always free to local families. Choose an amount and see the difference it makes today.
