St Richard’s Hospice is an independent charity offering free, expert care for adults with an illness that cannot be cured, and support for their loved ones and carers.
Each year the hospice team supports more than 3,100 patients, family members and bereaved people in Worcestershire.
It will cost in the region of £12m to run the hospice this year, which includes patient care and all the necessary support services.
St Richard’s relies on voluntary support, including from donations, gifts in Wills, retail and events for the majority of its income with the remainder funded by the NHS (19% 23/24 audited accounts).
The hospice strives to provide the best medical, practical, emotional and social support they can to help people live life to the fullest, as independently as they can, for as long as they can. They care for people with a range of illnesses including heart failure, Parkinson’s, and motor neurone disease as well as cancer.
Funding from independent grant makers such as trusts and foundations is a very important and appreciated source of income for St Richard’s Hospice.
We are indebted to the trust and grant organisations that remain committed to our work.
Over the years, through the generosity of trust funders we have been able to provide improvements in end of life care to our patient and family members throughout Worcestershire.
