Queenscourt Hospice in Southport

Queenscourt Hospice is taking over Stand Up For Southport this Friday (12th June 2026) – and we’d love your help! 

We’d love to hear your stories of – What Queenscourt Means To Me.

We’d love to see your posts all about Queenscourt in the Stand Up For Southport Facebook group with your thoughts about Queenscourt whether you’re fundraising for them, or you’ve taken part in one of their events, or they’ve supported your family, or you’ve volunteered, or you’ve bought something cool from one of the Queenscourt charity shops! 

In April, Queenscourt Hospice announced that it will be reducing its in-patient ward from ten to five beds, as it continues to face financial uncertainty. 

The news comes just four weeks after the hospice stated that it was being forced to consider reducing the vital services it provides for patients, as it continues to operate with a £2 million deficit.

The need for people to come out and support Queenscourt’s fundraising efforts is greater than ever, as our hospice marks 35 years since it was officially opened by Princess Diana in 1991. 

Queenscourt Hospice is a local charity that provides support for the people of West Lancashire, Southport and Formby. 

Look out on the Stand Up For Southport website, Facebook group and Instagram page for some great video messages from people connected with Queenscourt, news about the hospice, and about how you can help to keep Queenscourt’s vital services running.
