Trusts and Grants

We are deeply thankful for all the generous donations from Trusts and Foundations that have supported The Shakespeare Hospice over the years. This support is vital, enabling us to provide compassionate care to thousands of people facing a life limiting illness or bereavement, and ensuring patients receive end of life nursing care in their own homes.

A gift from a charitable trust can fund the essential everyday running costs of the Hospice, which provides individual specialised care to those who need it. Trusts can also help us to develop our services, such as our recently introduced Companion at Home scheme, contribute to the cost of specialised equipment or furnishings, or help with the costs of repairs and refurbishment to keep our building safe, warm and welcoming.

Unrestricted and multi-year grants are particularly important in ensuring the Hospice can plan for the longer term and respond quickly to the complex and often changing needs of our beneficiaries.
