Hospice care eases the physical and emotional pain of death and dying. Letting people focus on living, right until the end. But too many people miss out on this essential care. Hospice UK fights for hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.

Story

<p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The Hospice at Home service provided to my Grandad in the months before his death earlier this year was invaluable, providing the help he and my Nana needed to allow him to be cared for at home.&nbsp;</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The charity Help the Hospices is the leading charity supporting hospice care in the UK.&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #010101; background: white;">Hospices need to raise over &pound;1.5 million each day to keep going.
