Who we are

Help the Hospices is the national charity for the hospice movement, founded in 1984 by Anne, Duchess of Norfolk.
Help the Hospices’ vision is of a world in which everyone at the end of life has access to the best possible care. Our mission it to help hospices ensure that the best possible care is provided to all those affected by terminal illness.

We see our role as two-fold. First, we support 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 we give takes many forms - training, education, information, grant-aid, advice and national fundraising events and activities.

Secondly, we give voice to the interests, views and concerns of over 200 local charities who provide the majority of hospice care across the UK. We investigate issues, publish reports and briefings and advocate the cause of independent voluntary hospice care in Westminster, Whitehall and in the media.

We became a membership organisation in 2007 and our structure is aimed at giving local hospices more ownership and engagement with the body that represents them nationally. It also enables them to have more input into the shaping of future support programmes and priorities.

Within this section of our site, the Overview offers more information on the practical support Help the Hospices offers.
