About us Our impact Our impact 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.
