Blythe House Hospice provides care and support for those in the High Peak community affected by cancer, life-limiting illness or bereavement.

It costs approximately £926,000 per year to keep Blythe House open, equating to £2,500 every day. Thanks to the generosity of the community, the care and support that Blythe House provides remains completely free of charge.
