With rising costs across the hospice sector and growing demand for these essential services, support is needed now more than ever to ensure everyone that needs hospice care is able to access it #ThisIsHospiceCare

Ardgowan Hospice looked after my whole family when we needed them last year with mum dying peacefully on their inpatient unit in August. She was supported at home prior to this by their community team. Their care was second to none and I will be forever thankful 🥰

We’re proud to be joining hospices across England, Scotland, and Wales as part of the #ThisIsHospiceCare campaign to protect the future of hospice care through gifts in wills.

Look out for the campaign on TV!

So incredibly proud to be part of a team that not only goes above and beyond every day to support our patients and their families but also supports our wider community. This years reverse advent calendar was donated to @StBasilsCharity

Survived our first #StBasilsBigSleepout raising money and awareness of the fabulous work St Basils do supporting young people facing homlessness. Night was cold and uncomfortable, but the atmosphere was fantastic @StBasilsCharity

We've warned about the impact of rising costs and stagnant funding. Now, @brumshospice have been forced to make redundancies due to financial pressure.

This can't go on, whoever forms the government at the end of next week must act.

The heartbreaking reality of years of government underfunding 💔. There are no words to describe the massive sense of loss being felt by our hospice community at this time 😢

[Hospice UK @hospiceuk]

Across the UK, hospices are on a knife-edge, relying on public donations and generous fundraisers to cover basic costs.

For @brumshospice, it's getting critical. They've launched an urgent appeal after a £1million rise in their costs since last year.

Your ICBs & @NHSEngland must protect hospice services in poorer Brum & West Mids communities, where charitable giving just cannot cover the financial shortfalls. Some of your best hospices face huge financial challenges right now - @brumshospice @StGilesHospice @MSHospice

Throughout December, our Hospice at Home Team held a 'reverse advent calendar' to support local foodbanks.

Instead of opening an advent calendar every day, team members donated a different food or toiletry item. Once their boxes were full, teams donated them local foodbanks! 💙

@brumshospice @brumshospice @TrussellTrust proud of these guys, always go above and beyond to support our patients and local community 🥰
