Lakelands Hospice provides palliative and end of life care, free of charge, for people in Corby and the surrounding villages living with life-limiting illnesses such as cancer, COPD, MS and advanced heart failure. Corby has one of the highest rates of heart failure in England and has some areas that are among the county’s most socially deprived. We do not receive any government or NHS funding, relying totally on charitable donations and fundraising events and we need to raise in excess of £525,000 each year to keep our doors open.
