Help the Hospices is the national charity for the hospice movement, founded in 1984 by Anne, Duchess of Norfolk.
They see their role as two-fold. First, they support hospices in their vital work on the frontline of caring for people who face the end of life and caring for those who love them. The support they give takes many forms - training, education, information, grant-aid, advice and national fundraising events and activities.
Secondly, they give voice to the interests, views and concerns of over 200 local charities who provide the majority of hospice care across the UK. They investigate issues, publish reports and briefings and advocate the cause of independent voluntary hospice care in Westminster, Whitehall and in the media.
