The Hospice needs £6.5 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, £4.8 million per year, ourselves, so the families living with a life-limiting illness can access our care free of charge.

In 2022-23:

• We cared for 847 patients
• We looked after 220 inpatients
• Our Clinical Nurse Specialists visited patients 2,061 times
• The Hospice at Home Team delivered 1,692 visits to people in their homes
• 230 people used our Wellbeing Centre
• Our Psychological Support Services Team supported over 230 people
