Tapping
House is a registered charity based in the village of Hillington, King’s Lynn.
We provide exceptional free care, comfort, and compassion to adults in Norfolk
and North Cambridgeshire living with life-limiting illnesses, and support for
their carers, families, and friends.
We believe in living life to the end and
bringing joy to patients’ lives. We work with everyone as an individual,
supporting them at each step of their journey through our outpatient unit,
inpatient unit, and in their own homes — helping them to live a good life and
achieve a good death, in their place of choice. We also work with families
along the way and offer bereavement support.
We’re a charity and the only independent hospice
in this part of the UK, which enables us to deliver the most compassionate,
dynamic, and proactive end-of-life care. As such, we are a centre of clinical
excellence in the region and beyond, recognised at the forefront of education
in palliative care for over 40 years.
It costs £6.7 million a year (over £500,000 a
month) to deliver our services, with less than 25% from government sources. The
rest comes from people like you. Whilst our independence provides us with the
freedom to deliver the most compassionate, dynamic, and proactive end-of-life
care, we can’t do it alone. As demand for our services continues to grow, we
need your support to ensure no one is left without the care they need.
