Yes, your support is more vital now than ever before. Hospice UK’s recent benchmark report showed that 67% of hospices reported a deficit in the first half of this year (FY23/24). With the downturn in the financial health of the hospice sector expected to continue, we feel it is right to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the charity, but we will still be dependent on the generosity of our communities to keep the doors open. This means that we can make every penny of your donation work harder to keep caring for patients and their families during some of their most challenging times. Less than 25% of costs are covered from central government.
