About Mountbatten Hampshire Hospice

Allow us to introduce ourselves… Inspired by the work of Dame Cicely Saunders (1918-2005), founder of the hospice movement, the organisation we know as Mountbatten Hampshire is the county’s oldest and largest hospice. We have been proudly serving our community for more than 45 years. We deliver expert specialist palliative care 24/7, to both patients and their families, in their own homes and in our hospice. We have a sister hospice on the Isle of Wight, called Mountbatten Isle of Wight. The two organisations share staff and expertise. However, donations to and funds raised for Mountbatten Hampshire stay in Hampshire. They are two separately registered charities.
