Hospice care in Scotland is in crisis. Costs are rising, funding has stalled, demand for care is growing. Now services are under threat.
Will you write to your local MSPs to let them know about the crisis?
Hospices are facing intense financial pressure. As costs have surged, local communities are doing their best to step up, but this isn't enough.
The modest amounts of state funding that hospices receive have not kept pace with spiralling costs. And now the state of the hospice sector’s finances is the worst it’s been for 20 years.
It takes 30 seconds of your time to write to your local MSPs.

With the Scottish Government budget fast approaching, we’re urging you and other hospice supporters like you to write to their local MSPs to show them how much hospice care matters. Scottish Government must understand that something needs to change.
Hospice care is for people at the most vulnerable time of their lives. Hospices need support to make sure they can continue to be there for dying people and their families, for now and forever.
You can speak up for them.
