As the new government gets to work, hospices are in crisis. Costs are rising, funding has stalled, demand for care is growing. Now services are being cut.
Will you write to your new MP 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. And now the state of the hospice sector’s finances is the worst it’s been for 20 years.

With hundreds of new MPs and a new government in place, we’re urging you and other hospice supporters like you to write to their new MP to show them how much hospice care matters. The new government must understand that something needs to change.
Hospice care is for people at the most vulnerable time of their lives. They 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.
