Our teams

Lorraine’s role at Hospice at Home West Cumbria is to provide strong clinical leadership and management for all clinical services, ensuring that the care received is equitable, professional and of an excellent standard. The role significantly contributes to the overall senior leadership of the organisation and being an active ambassador for the charity. 

Lorraine joined Hospice at Home West Cumbria in 2015, following a 30 year nursing career with the NHS. Her nursing journey has taken her along a varied and rewarding career path and included caring and supporting patients and families in the areas of acute medicine, palliative and coronary care, rheumatology, continuing health care, community liaison, rehabilitation and specialist palliative care.

Hayley joined Hospice at Home West Cumbria in January 2018 and leads the Marketing and Income Generation Team who are responsible for raising our profile and raising the funds required to ensure Hospice at Home West Cumbria can develop and continue to deliver our services. Hayley also leads the Finance Team who provide a comprehensive and supportive finance and administrative service both internally and externally to ensure that the financial management of the charity meets all statutory requirements. 

After graduating from Leeds Metropolitan University with a BA(Hons) in Public Relations, Hayley went on to teach English in Japan. This inspired her to work with young people and worked for a number of years developing young people’s projects which included full project management from initial ideas, building realistic budgets, securing funding and reporting back evidence-based results. 

Working for a housing association, Hayley continued her project management role and then went on to manage their young people’s homelessness services and general needs housing which included tender submissions, management of statutory contracts, and achieving top scores of an accreditation process. Throughout her career, Hayley has built a track record of delivering income and expenditure budgets on target and developing effective internal and external partnerships. 

In her spare time Hayley enjoys live music, taking off in her campervan and long walks with her dogs.
