St Raphael's Hospice

Did you catch us on @BBCNewsnight last night? We’re so grateful for the chance to share our story and highlight the urgent funding challenges facing hospices across the UK. Huge thanks to @vicderbyshire and the Newsnight team for shining a light on the vital care we provide

@BBCNewsnight Thank you for highlighting this vital funding issue for hospices across the UK and for sharing Bill's powerful testimony showing the positive impact of hospice care on the patients we support.

“If you’re listening Mrs Chancellor, look after them” Bill Ingram, who was given six to nine months to live five years ago, pays tribute to the work of St Raphael's Hospice in South London and calls on greater funding for hospices in the upcoming Budget. #Newsnight

Recently, we were lucky enough to receive a beautiful donation of plants from @wimbledonfdn 🌿🪴 They've truly brightened our spaces and brought so much joy to our patients, visitors, and staff. We’re so grateful for your support! 💜

It’s Volunteers’ Week – and we’re celebrating our truly incredible volunteers. Over the course of a year, they generously donate around 62,000 hours which saves us approximately £840,000. A huge thank you to each and every one of them. 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
