Sobell House Hospice

What Sobell House Hospice does

Sobell House Hospice is a charitable, non-profit organization founded in 1976 and based in Headington, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. It provides specialist palliative care services to adults with life-limiting illnesses and offers emotional, psychological, and bereavement support to their families and caregivers. The hospice operates exclusively within Oxfordshire and delivers services at no cost to patients and families, consistent with the UK hospice charity model.

The organization's revenue model is not disclosed in the available sources; UK hospices of this profile are typically funded through a combination of NHS contracts, voluntary donations, legacies, and community fundraising. With 11-50 employees and a single-county footprint, Sobell House is a small-to-mid-sized community hospice rather than a multi-site operator. It has no commercial software products, technology platforms, or proprietary technology assets — its offering is the direct delivery of clinical and supportive care services.

In 2026, Sobell House is marking its 50th anniversary and was announced as the official charity partner for Bike Oxford 2026, a cycling event organized by Iconic Cycling Events expected to draw 700-1,000 participants. The partnership is intended to raise funds and visibility for the hospice's palliative care services. Leadership is headed by a Chief Executive Officer, Amelia F. No M&A, funding rounds, or expansion into new geographies have been disclosed in the source material.
