The Hospice needs £6 million a year to run, relying heavily on public donations, legacies and fundraising to keep going. Thanks to the generosity of the public, we are able to make an enormous difference to the lives of 1,000 terminally-ill patients every year. We are not state-funded, even though every person in our care is an NHS patient. We receive about 25% of our funding from the NHS. We need to raise the remainder, more than £5 Million per year, ourselves, so the families living with a life-limiting illness can access our care free of charge.

In 2020-21:

• We cared for 869 patients
• Our Clinical Nurse Specialists visited patients 2,083 times
• There were 17,268 phone calls made to patients and families
• The Hospice at Home Team delivered 892 visits to people in their homes
• 50 patients used our Wellbeing Centre
• Our Psychological Support Services Team supported 240 people
