Herriot Hospice@The Lambert

Local people, organisations and groups have shaped this very special space, and are key to its future. We’re working together with our community to shape services and continue the legacy of the Lambert for future generations.

We’re delighted to take another significant step as part of Herriot Hospice@The Lambert, with our Community Hub opening to members of the public later this month – the first time the transformed building will begin serving our community widely. 

The Hub provides a space where our staff and volunteers will welcome local people with the opportunity to purchase refreshments and find out more about our services and ways to get involved, including volunteering and fundraising. It will initially be open 10am-2pm, Monday-Friday from Monday 27 January. It will also host some of our existing and growing services – such as our digital support service and wellbeing services for people, their families and carers living with terminal illness locally.

As a reminder, Just ‘B’, part of our wider charity, is already providing its specialist bereavement support from Herriot Hospice@The Lambert, and the building is also an office base and reception for our existing and growing services, such as our community HOME service. We’re also providing a Digital Support Service, which will begin drop-in sessions from Herriot Hospice@The Lambert, starting 22 January.

Our regulated services – those which are inspected by the Care Quality Commission, including our inpatient care and elements of our wellbeing services – are currently pending authorisation. We are prepared to provide these services as soon as this care is authorised and continue putting the finishing touches to our inpatient rooms.

What did the project cost?

The project to bring Herriot Hospice@The Lambert to our communities cost more than £1.7m, and thanks to the funds raised and pledged by our amazing community, we are now offering our initial services from the space.

The support of partners Lambert League of Friends and former Hambleton District Council enabled us to kickstart the project. Alongside this, we were also pleased to receive a £250,000 grant from the Community Ownership Fund and Levelling Up Fund.

An innovative 36 hours campaign saw a tidal wave of support from our community, raising more than £450,000, and together with funds and pledged, helped us achieve our public appeal target.

As a local charity, your continued support is absolutely essential to ensure our new local hospice can be here today, tomorrow and in years to come.
