At Hospiscare, we’re currently facing some of the most challenging times in the history of our charity. Rising costs, increasing patient complexity, and a national funding crisis mean we urgently need your help to continue providing our specialist end-of-life care to patients and their families across Exeter, central and east Devon.
Every day, our clinical teams go above and beyond, supporting patients at home, responding to urgent calls, and offering comfort to those at the end of their lives.
Over the last year, our teams cared for over 192 patients on our ward, delivered 7,815 home visits, took 9,429 calls through our Clinical Coordination Centre and provided supportive care to 1,186 people.
But we cannot continue without you. Your donation today could help to:
- Fund our community nurses
- Provide urgent care via our rapid response team
- Purchase essential syringe drivers for pain relief at home and other vital equipment
Even as we reduce our deficit, the reality is stark: the cost of care is rising and government funding remains uncertain. Despite these challenges, the care of a patient and their family remains at the heart of what we do, but with every month that passes, the pressures grow. That’s why your support this spring is more vital than ever.
“We have fantastic support from all areas of our community; local people like you, and we’re very grateful. But our patients will continue to need your support. Anything you can give to our spring appeal will make a difference.”
– Ruth Wills, Chief Nurse, Hospiscare
