A significant amount of Prospect Hospice’s income is raised through our charity shops. The success of our retail operation depends on the generous support of the local community (donating and buying goods), and the commitment of our managers and volunteers. Find out more here.
We couldn’t do all that we do without you
Our ability to be able to care for the patients and families we meet each year is largely dependent on the support we receive from our community.
Put simply, we couldn’t do all that we do without you. Whether you are looking to take part in an event, volunteer for us, play our lottery, or if you want to know where your nearest Prospect Hospice shop is located, you can find everything you need in these pages.
We hope we’ve included everything you need to know, but if not, please email fundraising&events@prospect-hospice.net, and we will be happy to help.
The care we offer to patients and their families costs over £8.4m every year, seventy-two percent of this is raised through the support of our community. Read more about our amazing supporters.

Our lottery has a weekly top prize of £1,000. We had an average of 10,642 players per week between 1st April 2017 and 31st March 2018 and we celebrated with 1,456 lucky prize winners.
In 2017/18 our legacy income was £1.2million. This equated to 75% of all the costs to run our In-Patient unit at the hospice in Wroughton.
During 2017/18 3,349 people took part in or attended Prospect Hospice organised events. We also supported 145 fundraising activities organised by our local community in aid of the hospice.
