Sam Beare Hospice Weybridge Surrey

Sam Beare Hospice is at Weybridge Community Hospital, Weybridge Surrey
Sam Beare Hospice based within Weybridge Hospital, re-opened on August 1st 2006 under the management of Woking Hospice and provides palliative care and support to the residents of North Surrey.
Weybridge Hospital has been in the hearts and minds of the people of Weybridge since it was built with donations from local people in 1889.
The Sam Beare Ward was opened in 1977 and provided care for local cancer patients. In 2006 the Sam Beare Ward became the Sam Beare Hospice, a registered charity.

It is no longer part of the NHS, but has to be funded by public donations.
It costs £1.5 million per year to fund the ten beds and community services provided by the Hospice. It shares management with Woking Hospice and provides specialist palliative care to the residents of West Elmbridge, Runnymede and Spelthorne.
In the current economic climate, the money needed to fund this unit is becoming increasingly difficult to find and there is a real danger that the local community will lose this important service.
Please help the charity by participating in or attending fundraising events or by providing goods for sale or purchasing from one of the Same Beare shops in Weybridge town centre
 
Hospice Care
Hospice care is based on the belief that each person is more than their illness, and that each of us has unique physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. Woking & Sam Beare Hospices responds to the needs of each individual, helping people achieve the best possible quality of life.
 
Care For All
This highly personal, holistic approach to care takes time, skill and experience from a multi-professional team. We care for people in the hospice, in their homes and in nursing homes.
• Through expert assessment and regular monitoring we aim to relieve pain, symptoms and side-effects of illness.
• We enable people to receive care, treatments and therapies directly, wherever they live, through liaison with other healthcare professionals and by providing 24 hour telephone support.
• We help people retain their independence, mobility and sense of control by providing practical help, equipment and advice.
• We help restore self confidence and well-being by giving patients the opportunity to meet socially, gain support from others in similar circumstances, and benefit from relaxation therapies.
• We give patients and their loved ones opportunities to discuss their thoughts and feelings which can relieve fears and anxieties.
• We help people plan for the future so that they can enjoy life as fully as possible.
• Where possible we support patients’ carers by providing respite care, giving people a much needed break from their caring role.
• We provide open and honest explanation to questions, enabling people to make informed choices and have greater control throughout the dying process.
• We support people as their condition deteriorates, helping families, carers and friends to prepare for bereavement.
• We provide ongoing support to families and carers in bereavement, from simple practical advice through to counselling services.
Both Woking & Sam Beare Hospices are separate registered charities with joint running costs of £5.4 million per year. We make no charge for our services - all patient care is entirely free, and we rely on donations and other fundraising activities to fund our work.

Press Release - Day Care at Hospice to partially reopen

In October 2009 due to the economic downturn Sam Beare Hospice very reluctantly took the steps of suspending day care facilities at the Hospice. It was the only immediate way of safeguarding all other services while an Emergency Appeal was launched to help secure the future of Sam Beare Hospice.
They called on the generosity of those who have always kept them going: the community – and as ever people have responded in such a positive way and have done so many wonderful things – held coffee mornings, donated birthday money, put coins in collecting tins or thought of different ways to get sponsored.
Woking & Sam Beare HospicesDue to everyone’s inspiring efforts and generosity, they have nearly reached their incredibly ambitious £300,000 target for the first quarter of the Emergency Appeal.
The good news is that, for now, no other services are in immediate danger of being cut and due to this community support the Day Care Unit at the Hospice will reopen from Spring 2010, but only for one day a week.
Chris Flemington, Chief Executive said
“We are pleased that phase one of the Appeal has gone so well and that we can start to push on with the crucial second phase which will require even more effort. Until we have reinstated every day of our Day Care service and safeguarded our future, there remains an emergency. I am hopeful we shall succeed as so many people are now aware that they have a Hospice in the heart of the community of which they can be proud.”
