Rowcroft Hospice is a charity, providing specialist care to people with life limiting illnesses living in Torbay and South Devon. The hospice was founded in 1982 and since then, with the support of local people, it has expanded to provide an even greater range of services. Care is provided, to over 1000 people every year, through our ward, hospice at home, community team, lymphoedema clinic and day services. This care includes physical, emotional and spiritual support to patients and their families. It costs £5.6 million to run Rowcroft for a year - over £11,800 per day. The NHS funds 23% of our costs, but the rest – over £4.3 million - is raised from voluntary contributions.

Events are organised throughout the year, not only by Rowcroft itself, but also by the Friends of Rowcroft and our many hard working supporters within the local creative and cultural community. We have strong relationships with many local artists, musicians and orchestras and work together to organise fundraising events. We rely heavily on the support from this community and are hugely grateful for their continuous commitment to Rowcroft.
