 About Us
At The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House we care for over 200 people every month of the year at the hospice and in people’s homes. Our aim is to ensure that our patients, and those close to them, can live life to the full and experience peace, respect and dignity to the very end of life.
Since 1984, our Hospice has been providing skilled and compassionate Hospice care to people with cancer, neurological and other life-limiting conditions.
Our Hospice originated from Health Care professionals and local volunteers identifying the need for dedicated support and care for people affected by life-limiting illness in our community. This continues to be the basis of our work: skilled professionals and trained volunteers working as a team to provide a wide range of care services.
We depend on the support of the community we serve to survive. The generosity of our volunteers and donors ensures that our vital care can continue.
 In life nothing is certain: none of us know if and when we might need our local Hospice. With the support of the community we will always be there to care when help is most needed.
It costs around £1 million a year to run our Hospice. We currently receive 15% of this from the NHS. Each year 85% of our funding has to come from the individuals and organisations in our community who give generously.
Our Annual Review is available to download and will give you more information on the vital care and support services that we provide.  Annual Review 2006/07 (PDF - 456KB)
