On the 15th April, on a landmark day, Hospice UK and staff from 24 hospices across England gathered at Westminster with a clear message to Government -

Enough is enough. The current funding model is failing, and patients are paying the price.

To the hospices that joined us in Westminster, those who shared their story online and all those who’ve supported our campaign – thank you. This day would not have been possible without you.

But with nearly 60% of English hospices either making cuts or considering them we cannot stop here. The situation is not sustainable – and time is running out. We need fair funding now.

We’re calling on the Government to act now by implementing our Four-Point Plan for fair funding. And we need your help. Spread the word and support our campaign by sharing our content.

Together we can achieve fair funding for hospices. For all, For now, Forever.

380 hospice beds across England are currently sitting unused. Each one is a space where care and comfort should be reaching someone in their most vulnerable moments. It’s a stark reminder of the gap between what’s needed and what’s available.

💙 We need your voice too. Please stand with us, share our message and posts, and help us call for change.

Fighting for our hospice 🏨

We’re lucky to have the fantastic Garden House Hospice Care locally for so many in our community to rely on at incredibly difficult end of life moments.

Like many hospices though, they’ve faced real funding pressures over recent years. As our MP, I’m determined to play my part and roll up my sleeves to protect their vital palliative care services.

Locally, I’m glad to have been able to help push our local NHS to deliver crucial significant funding and wider support for Garden House to help them through a difficult few months.

Nationally, I’ve been pressing the case for fairer funding in Parliament, and worked to ensure Garden House got their fair share of crucial national grant programmes.

There is far more to do though.

Locally, we can all play our part in giving what we can to help support their critical work, including at this Sunday’s charity fundraiser at Hitchin Town FC 💛

Nationally, I’ll be continuing to make the case for the long term, sustainable funding settlement our hospices deserve.

We’ve made a clear commitment: to keep fighting for fair, long-term funding – not just for Garden House Hospice Care, but for hospices across the UK facing the same crisis.

For too long, hospice care has depended on the kindness of local communities. But that model is no longer sustainable. Communities cannot carry this alone. It must be recognised and funded as a core part of our healthcare system.

Every day, our teams deliver expert, compassionate care at the most critical moment in someone’s life. There is only one chance to get end-of-life care right. This is the government’s moment to get it right too.

Right now, hospice beds are sitting unused because we cannot afford to keep them open. At the same time, community care is shrinking while demand continues to rise, placing even greater strain on the National Health Service.

If hospices aren’t there, there is no alternative that can fill that gap.

Without immediate action, hospices will not be there for people like Roger, from Hitchin, who received care from Garden House Hospice Care in June 2024. After losing the use of his legs overnight, he spent three weeks in hospital and began to lose hope. But within two days of being at the Hospice, his recovery transformed. Now, he is living independently with confidence.

Hospices across the country are under unprecedented pressure. Demand for care is growing rapidly, but funding hasn’t kept up. Across England, 75% of hospices are in deficit, and nearly 6 in 10 have already made, or are considering cuts to frontline services. The result is fewer beds, reduced community support, and more people like Roger are at risk of missing out on the expert, compassionate care they need.

💙 We need your voice. Stand with us today. Please share this post, spread the word, and help us call on the Government for fair hospice funding.
