Phyllis Tuckwell, the only hospice care service for adult patients, and their families, living with terminal illnesses across the whole of West Surrey and part of North East Hampshire, is building a new £16m hospice
The new purpose-built hospice will replace the existing hospice. It will be larger, better equipped and offer a range of new and improved facilities that will be able to help tens of thousands more people in these areas.
Demand for these services is at an all-time high and there is an urgent need for additional palliative care in these areas.
Phyllis Tuckwell hospice anticipates that the new hospice will allow them to help 40% more people annually than it is currently able to
The current hospice was built over 90 years ago, and is no longer fit for purpose.
However, during the building works, the hospice continues to provide a full range of services from specially adapted temporary accommodation.
The new hospice will also provide greater levels of comfort, privacy and dignity to patients and their families.
Phyllis Tuckwell hospice anticipates that the new hospice will allow them to help 40% more people annually than it is currently able to.
In April 2023 the hospice received full planning permission and in September 2023 enabling works started on site in Farnham.
It is anticipated that the new hospice will open in early 2026.
