Give a regular gift to St Richard’s and you can make an ongoing difference to your local hospice.
More and more people need hospice care across the county every day. Our community is living much longer, often with multiple, complex conditions for which there is no cure. We know that the number of patients and their families who will need us is only going to continue to keep rising.
Our costs keep rising too and, sadly, this financial year we will bring in around a million pounds less than we will spend. Government funding only covers around 20% of our costs. As a charity it means we need to raise £9.6 million of the £12 million we need to keep vital services running this year for Worcestershire families.
To be able to meet this growing need, we are asking you to please consider investing in the future of hospice care, with a regular monthly donation. It is vital that we can continue to be here for people across Worcestershire when they need us the most.
Whatever amount you feel able to give each month, we promise it will make all the difference.

A regular donation for Lesley – Pam’s story
Our daughter, Lesley, was the sunshine in our lives.
She was a wonderful Mum to Tyra, 16, Etta, 3, and Lua, 17 months old. She was also a brilliant midwife – a career that made us all very proud.
“Lesley was in hospital for nine days where she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She was discharged to St Richard’s on 17th November 2023, her 38th birthday.
“The staff at the hospice gave Lesley and us, as her family, an incredible welcome – greeting Lesley by singing Happy Birthday and baking her a lovely birthday cake.
“Lesley was given the most amazing care and shown so much dignity from the whole team at St Richard’s. They provided such kind support at the most tragic of times in our lives and Lesley was so thankful and grateful for this as were we.
“Lesley died peacefully eight days after being admitted. We do not have words to express the gratitude we have for all the fabulous staff at the hospice.”
