Hospice care. It’s easing pain and bringing comfort, cherishing memories and creating new ones. It’s allowing anyone, anywhere, to embrace the life that’s left.
Every year, UK hospices care for 300,000 people and support 60,000 family members, carers and friends, free of charge. However, with NHS and government funding providing on average less than a third of their costs and a national hospice funding crisis, UK hospices are facing unprecedented financial challenges.
That’s why we’ve joined together for “This is Hospice Care” a national collaboration between 120+ hospices across England, Scotland and Wales, brought together by Hospice UK.
Over the next few weeks, you may spot our joint national tv advert, hear radio features and see social media posts sharing with you what hospice care is and the enormous impact it has on patients and their families.
The “This is Hospice Care” campaign aims to raise awareness of adult and children’s hospice services, shift public perceptions of hospice care and educate people about the importance of gifts in Wills in providing sustainable income for hospice charities.
Hospices like ours are at the very heart of communities, offering compassionate care and support when we need it most. Gifts in Wills are crucial to the survival and growth of hospices across England, Wales and Scotland.
Every gift in every Will, no matter how large or small, makes a difference, helping local hospices to reach more people. This is critical considering as many as 90% of people who die in the UK would benefit from palliative care.
Leaving a gift in your Will is a deeply personal way to support your local hospice and show your commitment to protecting hospice care for future generations.
To leave a gift in your Will and help hospice care live on for all, for now, forever please visit our Gifts in Wills pages.
