As a hospice, we provide free, high-quality care to children and adults with life-limiting conditions. But we are so much more. The holistic, wraparound support we offer families on a practical, emotional and well-being level is our very own 'hospice hug', given at a time when they need it the most.

    The free care we give to adults and children living with life-limiting illness costs over £5.5m per year, of which only 18% is government funded. It is the generosity of our community that allows us to provide our full range of services. But to fulfil our mission to make each day count, our care must be so much more than clinical. We aim to give a 'hospice hug' to everyone we meet; holistic support which goes above and beyond to offer the handhold they need at the time they need it most.

    As the cost of services continues to rise, it is imperative that we try to build and nurture new fundraising relationships with the public and corporate partners. By participating in The Big Give, we aim to spread awareness of the range, quality and nature of care that we offer, raising our profile and encouraging new and existing donors to give generously to our cause. This will enable us to provide the warmest of hospice hugs to even more adults, children and families this winter.
