Pendleside Hospice celebrates its 35th anniversary

Pendleside Hospice has come a long way since its inception in 1988. It wouldn’t be where it is today if it wasn’t for local pioneer, founder and chairman of Pendleside Hospice, Miss Muriel Jobling MBE. Realising the lack of support in the local area after seeing her cleaner suffer facial cancer, Miss Jobling made it her mission to build a safe space for those in need of palliative care, as well as ongoing support and treatment.

Miss Jobling passed away in 2019 and has left a legacy in her wake, building the Hospice from a small day care unit with limited space to a 10-bed inpatient centre, various day therapy sessions, and a 24-hour hospice at-home service.
