Everyone deserves to spend their final days in the place of their choosing, with the people and surroundings that matter most to them. Our nurses and healthcare workers are best placed to give everyone in our community the love, care and support they need, whether that’s at home or in our hospice, when the end of life is near. But with government funding covering just 16% of our costs, our nurses depend on the kindness of people like you.
When you sponsor a nurse, you become a vital part of the care we give. You are the reason a nurse can sit with a patient at 3am, hold their hand through the hardest hours, and tend to their every need.
By sponsoring a nurse today, you’re also wrapping your arms around every family who faces losing a loved one. You’re giving families precious time and special moments together before they say goodbye.
