In the community and in people’s homes across the UK, hospices look after people who need palliative and end of life care day in, day out.

They make 1.4 million community visits to help people at the end of their lives, delivering care closer to home, keeping people out of hospital who do not need to be there, and letting many people be in the place they love most: their own home.

But just when these services should be growing, they’re shrinking. With the right support, there is so much more they can do.
There is so much more Longfield Community Hospice can do – with your support.

That’s why, this , we’re celebrating all the things that hospices do to make people’s lives better to help raise awareness that these services should be properly funded.

Because hospice care is
