John Taylor Hospice’s motto is every moment matters. Our staff and volunteers are dedicated to ensuring the people we care for can live life to the full for as long as possible. Today more than 600 people and their families will receive the care they need from John Taylor teams – both at the hospice in Birmingham and in their own home.   

Our Gift a Christmas campaign aims to raise £15,000. Although our services are free to those who need them, it costs £625 an hour to provide this care. With your support we hope to reach our target and raise enough money to fund all our hospice services on Christmas Day. 

We do everything we can to make sure Christmas is an extra special time at John Taylor Hospice. If patients are unable to spend the festive season at home then we bring Christmas here to the hospice. The people we care for and their loved ones are always welcomed as if they are part of our family and our home is their home. Our patients are at the heart of everything we do and we help families to spend precious time together creating memories they can cherish.     

We understand that you may be unable to donate money but would like to show your support in a different way. If you need some ideas then we've put together a few suggestions on our Gift a Christmas website pages - we hope you find our hints and tips inspiring!  

John Taylor Hospice has been at the heart of the local community for more than 100 years. The kindness and generosity of our supporters helps to ensure we're there for families when they need us most - now and in the future.  

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story.
