We are Lincolnshire's leading independent hospice, committed to providing the highest standard of medical and nursing care for patients living with life limiting illnesses.  The hospice has touched the lives of over 39,000 patients and their families since we became one of the first in the UK to open our doors in 1982.  And thanks to the generosity of the community, and the skills of our staff and volunteers, we remain at the national forefront of personalised and high quality patient care ever since.

We have grown into one of the country’s biggest and most successful providers of specialist healthcare and as we celebrate our 30th anniversary we will draw upon the expertise and innovation built up by our staff and volunteers over the past three decades to shape quality care over the next 30 years.

Our care is free to all and over half of the costs of £6.8 million a year rely on public donations (both money and goods for shops), fundraising and gifts in wills. Without this support we could not provide the care and support that we pride ourselves on.

Lincolnshire Cooperative is based in Lincoln. A co-op is owned and democratically controlled by its members. The members are the main people who benefit from the business. Co-ops vary in size, structure and even what type of work they carry out.

As one of the most profitable independent consumer co-operatives in the UK, we're proud to be able to offer a wide range of services from our family of businesses. Lincolnshire Co-op employs over 2,800 people throughout Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and Norfolk and we're always growing.
