About Nightingale Hospice

The Nightingale Community Hospice Trust was launched in 2002 to help residents in the borough of Enfield whose lives have been touched by cancer and who were somehow slipping through the established care system.

A research project was undertaken to identify services that were obviously needed and those that were already being provided.

A steering group of health experts, social care workers and legal and business professionals came together with the aim of forming a new charity that would specifically meet the needs of Enfield borough residents.

NCHT serves patients, relatives, carers, friends and those who are concerned about cancer care. We hope to be able to provide help and information to those who need it along their journey.

We aim to work together with existing services within the borough and to co-ordinate local volunteer teams so that valuable resources are used to best effect.

We run our services from The Lancaster Centre which is situated on Lancaster Road, a short distance from Enfield Town. Both the W8 and 191 buses run past the centre and the nearest train station is Gordon Hill.
