Keech Hospice provides free specialist hospice and end-of-life care for adults and children with life-limiting conditions.
The charity supports people in Bedfordshire and operates its Living Well Centre in Bedford.
The Bedford service is particularly significant because it is the successor to Bedford Daycare Hospice, which merged with Keech in 2023. The Bedford site was subsequently developed and renamed the Keech Hospice Living Well Centre.
Keech provides support for patients and their families both at home and through its specialist centres.
