St Michael's Hospice Development Trust was created in 1984 a few years after the Hospice itself was created. We exist purely to raise money for St Michael's Hospice in Hastings, particularly for projects which in some way 'develop' the Hospice, for example through capital items.

We raise money mostly from those in the Hastings and Rother area, often through direct donations but also through some events. Our Patrons' Scheme is a way in which those who are able give at least £500 a year to the Hospice. Such generous support is at the heart of our approach. We also often receive significant one-off donations.
