The Prince of Wales Hospice

The Prince of Wales Hospice (Registered Charity No. 514999) in Pontefract has provided specialist care to people with a life-limiting illness since 1989. Our services are available to the communities in the Five Towns area of Wakefield district. We care for anyone over the age of 18, either as a visiting out-patient or on our ward where we offer 24-hour specialist care. Our care also extends to the carers and families of our patients by providing wellbeing services and bereavement support.

We provide our care free of charge, but only around 35% of the cost is covered by the NHS. We need to raise £3.5m a year through donations, our charity shops and commercial catering company, The Caring Kitchen, and other fundraising initiatives.

We help nearly 2,000 local people each year with a wide range of life-limiting illnesses.

- £12.50 could pay for a family afternoon tea on Incare.
- £20 could cover the cost of an Incare bed for an hour (including nursing, doctors, catering and housekeeping).
- £280 could cover the cost of our Incare unit for an hour (including nursing, doctors, catering and housekeeping).

The Prince of Wales Hospice is an independent hospice.
