About Us

At The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House we care for over 280 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.

The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House is a registered charity governed by a Board of Trustees.  Responsibility for day to day leadership and mangement of the organisation is delegated to the Chief Executive and the Senior Management team. For information on the Trustees and Senior Management Team, see the Who's Who page.

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 over £1 million a year to run our Hospice. We currently receive 11% of this from the NHS. Each year 89% of our funding has to come from the individuals and organisations in our community who give generously.
