Hospice of the Valleys
Remembering Our Co-Founder, Dr Richard Lamerton
We are deeply saddened to share the news that Dr Richard Lamerton, co-founder of our hospice, has died.
Together with local nurse Jayne Medlicott MBE, Richard recognised the urgent need for specialist palliative care services within our communities. With vision, compassion and determination, they created what was first known as Hospice of the Marches, working to support residents of Abergavenny and Blaenau Gwent.
Richard established a Day Centre at Nevill Hall Hospital in Abergavenny and, alongside Jayne, went on to develop drop-in centres and wider holistic services across Blaenau Gwent. In 1999, the organisation became Hospice of the Valleys and quickly grew to become a vital part of local community life.
Today, Hospice of the Valleys continues to build on the values and foundations laid by Richard and Jayne, supporting more than 2,000 patients and carers every year. This work stands as a lasting legacy to Richard’s dedication and commitment to ensuring the very best care for those who need it most.
Our local shops help raise vital funds so we can continue providing specialist care and support to our patients and their families.
