Hospice UK is the national champion for hospice care. We represent a community of more than 200 hospices from across the UK, delivering services to adults and children. Our membership includes the UK’s independent charitable hospices, two national palliative care charities and charities supporting NHS hospice services.

Every year, our hospices care for 300,000 people living with life-limiting conditions or facing the end of their life. They provide bereavement, counselling and practical support to 60,000 of those dear to them.

As the national champion for hospices, we fight to make sure hospice care is there for everyone, from every background. We fight to make sure hospices are able to deliver the best, most personalised care. We fight to make sure hospices can thrive – today and into the future.  

Over the past few years, we have made some important changes to how we work and what we intend to focus on. We have made some significant changes to how our Board members are selected, moving to a model where all our trustees are selected for their skills, knowledge and experience. These changes have been driven by our ambition to increase the diversity of our Board to ensure wise and supportive leadership as we turn our strategy into delivery. 

We are looking to strengthen our Board with two roles, one focused around clinical experience - the core activity of hospices - and one around income generation, which of course is how we garner the resources to deliver those services. 

Being part of Hospice UK means that you will have exposure to a range of high impact, national work and collaborative projects across the organisation and you can make a difference to people affected by death, dying and grief. This is an excellent time to join the organisation as it aligns with our new strategy and brand. As our Trustee, you will have the opportunity to influence the direction of Hospice UK going forward.
