Help the Hospices
is the national charity for the hospice movement, founded in 1984 by Anne, Duchess
of Norfolk.
Firstly they support hospices in their vital work on the frontline of caring
for people who face the end of life and caring for those who love them. The
support they give takes many forms - training, education, information, grant-aid,
advice and national fundraising events and activities.
Secondly, Help the Hospices give voice to the interests, views and concerns
of nearly 200 local charities who provide the majority of hospice care across
the UK. They investigate issues, publish reports and briefings and advocate
the cause of independent voluntary hospice care in Westminster, Whitehall and
in the media.
