With your donations we have now raised over £25,000. We have bought equipment that will be used by 20 organisations in residential hospices or lent out for free to allow more families to care for their loved ones at home. Here are some of the things we have bought, and the hospices we have helped. You can click on each hospice to find out more.

We work with the Polish national campaign "A Hospice is Life Too" to identify the hospices that would most benefit from our support. We focus  on hospices in poorer areas and where demand is particularly high. To increase our impact we work with hospices that are just setting up or expanding, and particularly ones that use volunteers to engage the community. 

A new rehabilitation and exercise suite for Elblag, being put through its paces by one of the young patients.

The average hospice bed lasts 10 years and can be used by up to 12 patients in a year. This means one bed can help up to 120 patients, and of course their families and friends.
