Alan Bradley, who is under the care of St Francis Hospice Dublin, describes his experience of hospice care, including visits from and phone consultations with the Community Palliative Care Team and visits to the Hospice’s Outpatients department to receive Complementary Therapies.
Oscar-nominated actor Brendan Gleeson recently helped launch our fundraising campaign for the redevelopment of our Raheny in-patient unit. The new design will provide 24 single rooms in Raheny, mirroring the in-patient unit in St Francis Hospice Blanchardstown.
In lending his support, Brendan recalled the care his parents had both received in St Francis Hospice Raheny. He said he witnessed “kindness as a continuum, a top of the tree aspiration and an everyday vehicle for what they do. The reason I lend my support to them is because I believe the care and dignity that is afforded to patients is something that should be available to everyone in our community. St Francis Hospice must make sure they expand to help everyone who needs them.”

“At Novum we have always tried to do our bit for the local community, be it sponsoring local sports team or fund raising for charities.
However last year we wanted to commit to a cause for the long term within in our local community, we wanted to give something back, I truly believe we have a responsibility.
We became aware of the support St Francis needed to develop the Raheny site.
Our community responsibility team, which is made up of several people from our manufacturing site, visited St Francis Hospice in Blanchardstown to learn more about the organisation. We were blown away with what we experienced. The work that these people do is hard to put into words.
Our community responsibility team set out a target every 3 months, in just over a year, we have raised over €28,000. This was achieved by getting all employees and suppliers involved in fund raising events. Not only has it been a huge achievement for St Francis Hospice, but it has also been extremely valuable for our culture within Novum.
Like a lot of business in this area, Novum employ a lot of local people and has done so for over 60 years. Many of our employees are familiar, through personal, family or friend’s experiences, with the unbelievable service that St Francis Hospice provides.
I truly believe that more Companies within the area can, and should do more for St Francis Hospice. They play such a pivotal role in our local community.”
