“Your donation means the world to me and my mother June who had dementia. She couldn’t string a sentence together, but in the last weeks of her life, she said to me, “I want you with me, Jules, I want to go home”.
Garden House Hospice made this possible. Mum came home for the last week of her life, and the house was filled with joy, music, we had friends over, we had movies on. It was a truly incredible experience and the incredible team made four visits a day.
Thank you for helping make it possible.”
Jules, Garden House Hospice Care, Letchworth

funds 2 cloth bags for returning belongings to a family
buys a set of Wendyletts sheets
buys a stethescope
will buy a pain relieving syringe driver
buys an Octoscope
provides a laptop for a hospice
provides a cuddle cooling blanket for post-mortem care

In December 2025, Richard House Children’s Hospice in East London closed its doors for the last time. After 25 years of caring for seriously ill children and their families, the hospice simply ran out of money. We can’t let this happen again.

The word “hospice” tends to conjure a particular image – peaceful gardens, soft furnishings, and an older person resting after a long life. That image isn’t wrong but it isn’t the whole picture either. Young people need hospice care too.
Most of us don’t think about hospices unless we need them and when we do need them we assume they’ll be there. Right now, that assumption is being tested in ways that should trouble every single one of us.

Why are hospices across the UK closing beds and cutting services? We explain the funding crisis, what it means for families, and how you can help.
Valentine’s Day fills shop windows with hearts and roses, and our social media feeds with declarations of love. But for the thousands of families across the UK who are caring for someone with a terminal illness, love looks very different right now. It’s quieter. More worn in. And often far braver than anything you’d find in a greeting card.
CAF has announced that it is phasing out both CAF Vouchers and CAF CharityCards. The key date to remember is 1st May 2026 – after this date, donors will no longer be able to use these methods to make donations. Charities then have until 1st August 2026 to process any vouchers they’ve received.
There’s something about January that makes us pause and think. Maybe it’s the quiet after the festivities, or the blank pages of a new calendar. Whatever it is, many of us find ourselves wondering: what could I do this year that really matters?
“Now that we’ve had our snazzy new washing machine installed, I just wanted to say thank you once again.
Funding the unexciting essentials can be a huge challenge for hospices. We continue to be so grateful that you actively recognise this and support hospices in need. Our nurses are thrilled with the new washing machine, which is constantly in use ensuring our patients receive the highest standards of care.”
Queenscourt Hospice, Southport
