Supporting Hospiscare

Hospiscare has been supporting people with a life-limiting illness for over 40 years. They’ve expanded their area over that time and now cover Exeter, Mid and East Devon. If you’ve been diagnosed with any type of terminal illness, their expert doctors and nurses are here to help. Services include support at home, a specialist palliative care ward, day hospices and end-of-life care.

Hospiscare support over 2,000 people each year, in some of the hardest times possible. As a local charity, they need to raise around £8 million a year to continue to provide their care, relying on the generous support of local people and communities. You may think Hospiscare receives government funding – but they only get 18% funding from the NHS. The rest has to be raised from donations – every single year.
