We’re proud to announce the launch of the “This is Hospice Care” campaign, a groundbreaking collaboration between 143 hospices across England, Scotland, and Wales, brought together by Hospice UK.

Hospices like ours are at the very heart of communities, offering compassionate care and support when we need it most. For many of us, a hospice will touch our lives, whether for ourselves, a loved one, or a friend, providing comfort, dignity, and expert care through life’s most challenging times.

But just as this incredible support wouldn’t exist without hospices across the UK, hospice care wouldn’t exist without you.

We rely heavily on charitable donations to keep our doors open. That’s why we’ve come together to shine a light on the essential role hospices play in our communities and protect our futures.

We’re asking everyone to consider leaving a Gift in their Will to a hospice close to their heart. By doing so, you can help us continue to provide this vital care, ensuring that everyone has the support they need for generations to come.

Together, we can make sure that hospice care lives on for all, for now, forever.

Gifts in Wills

Gifts in Wills are crucial to the survival and growth of hospices across England, Scotland and Wales, providing 15% of the voluntary income that hospices rely on to deliver essential care.

Hospice care is free at the point of use. But, unlike the NHS, it is not fully state-funded. While hospices receive some government funding, more than £1 billion of the £1.6 billion they need each year comes from generous donors.

With rising costs and growing demand for hospice services, these gifts are more important to us than ever.

A Gift in your Will can help make sure hospices like ours can continue to offer compassionate, free care to hundreds of thousands of people and their families each year, now and in the future.
