Our strategy
2026 to 2029
At St Christopher’s our expert care is free to everyone. We recognise that every person is unique and pride ourselves on providing the best individually centred care and support, led by the people who need us.
Together, we provide care and support across southeast London and those close to them, experience positive moments – free from pain or fear wherever possible – supporting them to choose how they live their every day, to the last.
With empathy and care, we create space for honest conversations about death, dying and grief. We’re changing palliative care for the better, raising standards through research, education and collaborative partnership, across the UK and around the world.
No matter who you are or where you are, whatever matters to you matters to us
