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.
As the national champion for hospices, we fight to make sure hospice care is there for everyone, from every background. We fight to make sure hospices are able to deliver the best, personalised care. We fight to make sure hospices can thrive – today and into the future.
We represent the community of more than 200 hospices across the UK. They do everything they can for children and adults living with long-term illnesses or approaching the end of their lives. We do everything we can to support hospices’ invaluable work.
Right now, the UK’s hospices care for about 300,000 people each year. That number is going to get even bigger in the coming years. But hospices are underfunded, undervalued and under more pressure than ever.
Our mission is to promote and protect hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.
