Compton Care – Providing care for people living with incurable conditions
Compton Care provides free care and support for people living with incurable illnesses and their families. We support families to navigate every aspect of life with an incurable condition, including:
- the physical – helping patients deal with the physical changes brought about by their illness helping with symptom control and pain management.
- the practical – supporting families to manage practical aspects including finances, housing, legal matters and making future care plans.
- the emotional & spiritual – providing a safe space for families to express their thoughts, feelings and emotions throughout the duration of a person’s illness and after death.
Our care is tailored to each person and focuses on providing families with the tools, encouragement and support they need to live a good quality life.
It costs over £12 million every year to provide our services free of charge to families across Wolverhampton, the Black Country, South Staffordshire and East Shropshire.
Compton receives approximately one third of this funding from the government with the rest sourced through various income generation activities including charity shops, fundraising events, a Compton lottery and various other appeals and campaigns.
