Hospice UK is the national charity for hospice and palliative care. We work to ensure all adults and children living with a terminal or life-shortening illness receive the care and support they need, when they need it.
Our vision is hospice care for every person in need. We believe that everyone, no matter who they are, where they are or why they are ill, should receive the best possible care at the end of their life. No one should die in avoidable pain or suffering.
Our mission is to transform the way society cares for the dying and those around them. To empower individuals, communities and populations to embrace the ethos of hospice care and extend its breadth and reach to improve everyone’s experience of death, dying and bereavement.
Our ambitious strategy is the blueprint for how we can achieve the transformation that is needed and sets out the following four strategic goals that will be driving our work over the next five years:
• Extend the reach and enable hospice quality care to be delivered in any setting
• Tackle inequality and widen access to hospice care
• Work with communities to build capacity and resilience to care for those at the end of their life
• Empower a strong, dynamic and responsive hospice sector.
