Help
the Hospices
Help the Hospices is the national charity for the hospice movement,
founded in 1984 by Anne, Duchess of Norfolk. It’s vision
is of a world in which everyone at the end of life has access
to the best possible care. It’s mission is to help hospices
ensure that the best possible care is provided to all those
affected by terminal illness.
Help the Hospices sees its role
as two-fold. First, it supports hospices in their vital work
on the frontline of caring for
people who face the end of life and caring for those who
love them. The support they give takes many forms - training,
education,
information, grant-aid, advice and national fundraising events
and activities.
Secondly, it gives voice to the interests,
views and concerns of over 200 local charities who provide
the majority of hospice
care across the UK. It investigate issues, publish reports
and briefings and advocate the cause of independent voluntary
hospice care in Westminster, Whitehall and in the media.
