Their services include symptom management, psychosocial support and pre and post bereavement support. Their core principles include being caring, respectful, innovative and dedicated. They aim to provide professional and compassionate services, welcome individuality, promote dignity and choice, and work as a committed team who strive for excellence in everything they do.

It is posted on the intranet, emailed and paper copies put on notice boards and sent to their charity shops across Essex. Alison was appointed Chief Executive of Farleigh Hospice in July 2013. She has worked in the NHS, voluntary and private sectors, holding leadership positions for 27 years.
