Our expert care team includes doctors, registered nurses, nursing assistants, physiotherapists, occupational and complementary therapists, social workers, bereavement support workers and volunteer befrienders.

At Sue Ryder not only do we treat more conditions than any other UK charity in our hospices, neurological care centres and out in the community; we also campaign to improve the lives of people living with them. We see the person, not the condition, taking time to understand the small things that help that person live the fullest life they can. Our shops, fundraising and volunteers support us to be there for people at the most difficult time of their lives.
