We review applications in the order they arrive and award grants based on available funds – this might be the full amount requested or a contribution towards it.
For urgent needs: If your hospice faces an emergency and other funding isn’t available, contact us immediately. We’ve been providing rapid emergency grants for almost 25 years and can transfer funds straight away when hospices need critical support.
Years ago, hospices told us their biggest funding challenge: whilst corporate funders support high-profile projects, essential items like mortuary equipment, bedpans and sluices are almost impossible to fund. Nobody wants their name in a sluice room.
That’s why we prioritise funding the unglamorous but vital things that keep hospices running. We fill the gaps that other funders won’t.
we’ve never turned down a UK hospice that’s applied to us for funding
eligibility
You need to be a registered UK-based hospice. We’re unable to accept applications from care homes, nursing homes, hospitals or children’s homes
