We're proud to be joining hospices across England, Scotland and Wales to protect the future of hospice care. By 2040, the UK will see a significant rise in the number of people requiring palliative and end-of-life care. Closer to home, we expect demand in our catchment area to grow by at least 9% by 2033, with deaths projected to reach 4,150 by 2030.
Jane Symmons, Fundraising Director says “Gifts in Wills are essential to the survival and growth of hospices like ours. By leaving a gift in your Will, supporters ensure that hospice care continues to be there for families when they need us most.”
Making a difference
Last year our Hospice at Home team made 13,595 visits to patients in their homes, we cared for 272 inpatients and answered 15,635 calls on our 24-hour advice line to patients and their families in their time of need.
With your support, we can continue to offer compassionate, free care, for patients and their families in East Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire in their chosen place of care, now and in the future.

Why your legacy matters

Last year, gifts in Wills helped us support 2,378 patients in our community. With an annual cost of £18.5m to deliver compassionate, personalised care, we rely on raising £34,000 every day to sustain our vital services. These generous gifts ensure that when local families need end of life care, they can count on Thames Hospice to be there for them with the support they deserve.
