CEO Rachael de Caux welcomes funding boost for hospices

“We warmly welcome the government’s investment in hospice care and are grateful for the immediate funding boost. This financial support will undoubtedly make a tangible difference in enhancing the overall experience for our patients and their families.

“Like many hospices across the country, we continue to face increasing financial pressures. While this one-off funding is a valuable step, long-term financial sustainability remains a challenge. At Thames Hospice, we are committed to finding new ways to generate income to safeguard the future of our services, so we can continue to provide expert, compassionate care for all who need us.

“We also share the government’s ambition to expand care into the community, giving patients more choice over where they are cared for. We look forward to working collaboratively to build a resilient hospice sector that can meet the growing and evolving needs of those we serve.”
