Birmingham Hospice is the primary provider of adult hospice care in Birmingham. We deliver expert palliative and end of life care to local people living with a terminal diagnosis - at our hospice sites, in the community and in patients' own homes. We are committed to improving the quality of life for people living with life-limiting illnesses, as well as supporting their families and loved ones. W

e believe that anyone with a terminal diagnosis deserves to live well and make the very most of the time that remains. We care for around 670 patients on average every day across our services. Our mission is, and always will be, to help people from all communities access the care of their choice at the end of life. We are not fully funded by the NHS or government, and we expect it to cost around £19 million to run our services this year; 42% of this must be covered through voluntary income such as fundraising activity, income from our shops and voluntary donations.

“Allison was not only a sister-in-law, she was my best friend."

Anne was inspired to volunteer after her best friend and sister-in-law Allison was cared for by Birmingham Hospice.

After meeting in school, their friendship quickly grew. “She met my brother through me,” recalls Anne, “so it was an added bonus that she ended up being my sister-in-law.”

Allison was a Staff Sister and ran the COVID-19 ward at Heartlands Hospital. Describing her caring nature, Anne said: “She was like Mother Earth - she was just built to be a nurse, she scooped people up and looked after everyone."

In 2022, Allison became ill and was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. She wanted to be cared for a hospice when her time came.

Anne remembers: “She was so well cared for at Birmingham Hospice - she felt like it was her own family caring for her.

"It was lovely that she was more herself during those final weeks and could spend precious time with her husband and daughters.”

Since Allison’s death, Anne has supported Birmingham Hospice in various ways. Explaining why she signed up to volunteer at Big Brum Bucket this July, Anne said: “Family life is so busy, I can’t guarantee my time at the moment, but I can find a few hours for Big Brum Bucket.

"Last year I really enjoyed talking about my experience of the hospice, the work they do and how they help people.”

Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give is simply being there.

We are looking for people with a strong sense of empathy to become volunteers in our Inpatient Units (IPU) at our Selly Park and Erdington hospice sites to provide supportive, compassionate and person-centred companionship for patients and their families.

From making tea and coffee, giving out meals, to talking with patients and loved ones or just listening to what they have to say, our IPU volunteers will provide invaluable help when it is most needed.

You will have sympathy, kindness, good communications skills, be calm in sensitive situations and be able to work as part of a team under the guidance of our amazing IPU staff.

This is a special role where you will help make a difference to patients who have life-limiting conditions. If you are interested in this unique volunteering opportunity, we are holding two open evenings at our hospice sites where you can learn more:
Monday 29 June: Birmingham Hospice Selly Park site, 176 Raddlebarn Road, B29 7DA, 6pm start.
Wednesday 1 July: Birmingham Hospice Erdington site, 76 Grange Road, B24 0DF, 6pm start.

Doocey Group recently hosted their fifth annual Golf Day in aid of Birmingham Hospice, raising over £53,000 in support of local patients and their families.

The day was filled with generosity and reflection, as family, friends, colleagues and supporters came together to honour the memory of Anne Doocey, whose care journey was supported by our teams here at Birmingham Hospice.

Thank you so much to Doocey Group, as well as everyone who attended, sponsored, donated and helped make the day such a success - we're so grateful for your support!

This incredible total could provide round-the-clock palliative care for eight patients staying in our Inpatient Units.

From the first tee to the final putt, every swing made a difference. Thank you for helping making every moment matter.

If, like Doocey Group, your company would like to support Birmingham Hospice, we'd love to hear from you. Find out more by visiting our website 👉 https://bit.ly/3UIbs4D
