THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VISITING OUR WEBSITE.

 

Before you have a look around, we thought we'd mention that 5/10/26 - 11/10/26 is Hospice Week.

Hospice care eases the physical and emotional pain of death and dying. Letting people focus on living, right until the end. But too many people miss out on this essential care. 

 

Nearly 1 in 3 people don’t get the care they need at the end of their lives.

And where you live affects your chance of getting the care you need. With charitable income making up the majority of hospice funding, hospice care relies on the chance of local communities being able to fundraise enough – some are in a position to raise a lot more than others.

The amount of government funding varies wildly from hospice to hospice, meaning the amount hospices receive can be left to the luck of the draw. A broken funding model and rising costs means many hospices are reducing services, so the chance of care being available is shrinking in many areas. At a time of rapidly rising demand for palliative and end of life care, the systematic underfunding of hospices mean that they are not able to maximise their contribution to their communities, and health and care system.

One thing that is certain is that everyone deserves high-quality hospice care, whoever they are, and wherever they live.

Join us this Hospice Care Week to say: "Don’t leave hospice care to chance. Help it to be there, for all, for now, forever."
