Wellbeing Hwb
The Hospice aims to provide quality specialist palliative care centred on the needs of our patients, their families and their carers. St Kentigern Hospice understands the importance of caring for a person beyond their physical symptoms and prioritising their comfort and well-being.
Our classes & services
From symptom management and advance care planning, to creative and complementary therapies, our Wellbeing Hub is designed to help you live well with your life-limiting illness.
Whether it’s a drop in to discuss your concerns, attending an advice clinic or signing up to a wellbeing session to help reduce stress or alleviate symptoms, the Wellbeing Hwb is an inclusive space to support all adults living with a life-limiting illness in Central North Wales.
WBH Timetable
“I lost 100% of my mum at the hospice but found 99% of myself. What should have been the worst time in my life, became one of the most profound times. This was due to the support my mum, myself and our family received.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I am referred?
Once a professional or self-referral has been received you will be offered an appointment to meet with one of the healthcare professionals at the Wellbeing Hub. In this appointment the team will discuss your condition with you, your needs, and what you are hoping to achieve through attending the Wellbeing Hub. They will help you to come up with a set of personal goals and agree a timetable to suit you. This will enable you to access the variety of services (in the Wellbeing Hub and other community services) which will help you to reach your goals. We will review your plan with you on a regular basis to ensure you are getting the right care and support.
