🍫 Is one of your New Year's resolutions to eat healthier? Or perhaps you've got lots of spare chocolate lying around from Christmas?

Why not donate it to the hospice where it can be used to create our Chocolate Bouquets and support the hospice this Easter?

Last week, Health Secretary Wes Streeting announced that £100m of additional funding would be allocated to hospices in England over the next two years. We're delighted with this news, which we hope is a positive step forward in achieving fairer, more sustainable hospice funding.

Around 15,700. That’s how many cases of cancer have been caused by smoking in the 100 days since the King’s Speech. With every day that goes by, that number continues to rise.

@WesStreeting the UK Govt has committed to introduce legislation to raise the age of sale of tobacco, to help prevent future generations from taking up smoking. We urge you to bring this legislation to Parliament, and together let’s help end cancers caused by smoking.
