Lewis-Manning Hospice Care is a charity supporting people with life-limiting illnesses and their families across East Dorset and Purbeck. Its community-based hospice care focuses on what matters to each person, providing support throughout their journey rather than only at the end of life. Services include palliative care, counselling, a breathlessness service, a lymphoedema clinic and complementary therapy. The hospice also offers a Rising Voices Choir and works to develop and deliver palliative care education.

Lewis-Manning relies on donations and community support to sustain its local care. People can contribute through regular or one-off gifts, gifts in wills, fundraising events, its lottery, volunteering, corporate support and donations in memory. The charity also runs local shops and an online shop selling pre-loved goods, and accepts donated items. Its shop services include house clearances and free collections, helping turn donations into support for patients and families. Based in Poole, the organisation shares news and information about its services, referrals, volunteering and ways to get involved.
