Making Memories Appeal

Your support is crucial in providing compassionate end-of-life care to families like Bill’s.

Donate today and help families make memories they can cherish forever.

Growing pressure from rising demand and escalating costs

Without our supporters, we wouldn’t have been able to care for Bill and his family last year.

Bill’s accomplishments were remarkable. He built a loving family and a successful career making props for iconic films like Star Wars and Alien. Despite facing health challenges early on, he never complained and always wore a smile.

In his final weeks, Thames Hospice provided him with a home from home with compassionate end of life care, where his family could visit and create lasting memories. Read Bill's story here.

The support Thames Hospice offers is more than a gift — it’s a lifeline, giving dignity and comfort to local families during their most difficult times.

The Government’s Autumn budget was an incredible shock, and we’re already feeling the strain from rising National Insurance and minimum wage increases. These changes have added nearly £1 million in extra pressure to our annual running costs.
