The North Devon Hospice is a charity based in Barnstaple, Devon, England, which provides palliative care. It was established in 1983.[3]

It operates a hospice in Barnstaple and palliative home care. It is developing a new base in the grounds of the Holsworthy Medical Centre.

History[]

In 2014, it won the UK Charity of the Year award.[4]

In 2020 and 2021, 11-year-old Max Woosey from Braunton, raised money for the hospice, which had cared for his late neighbour Rick, by camping in his back garden for nearly 300 days.[5][6] By the end of his challenge he had raised over £500,000.[7][8]

In June 2020, the Hospice's volunteers were awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.[9]
