Hospices need to raise over £1.5 million each day to keep going. Hospices care for 360,000 people every year, including patients, families and friends. Hospice care can be at home, in day care or in a hospice.
Hospice care is free for patients and their families, but it is not free to provide. All donations, however big or small, help hospices to provide the very best care to people facing the end of life and their families.
