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. Hospice UK fights for hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.

Story



Hospice UK is the national charity for hospice and end of life care. It works to ensure that everyone affected by death, dying and bereavement gets the care and support they need, when they need it.

Hospice UK makes a huge impact in supporting hospice care across the UK every year, from raising awareness, fundraising, through to providing specialist clinical knowledge, grants, and expertise.

Particularly during the pandemic, as traditional hospice fundraising  collapsed because of successive lockdowns, Hospice UK secured and  distributed £257 million from government for hospices in England.  Consequential funding in Scotland (£24 million), Wales (£9.3 million) and Northern Ireland (£13.6 million) was also delivered as a result. 

Without this support, many hospices would have been unable to continue.  A donation to Hospice UK will help them continue to provide their valuable services to hospices around the UK.
