Birmingham Hospice helps people from all communities access the care of their choice at the end of life.
(230)

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.

A huge thank you to our brilliant ‘No OAR-dinary Girls’ team for taking on Birmingham Hospice’s Dragon Boat Challenge and raising over £1,250 in sponsorship. 🙌

Kara, Jas, Preet, Karen, Alice, Chloe, Angela and Kelly from our clinical teams took to the water, supported by Luke and Yvette from our Fundraising Team and our wonderful volunteer Dan.

While they care for patients and families every day, this time they were swapping their clinical roles for paddles and a whole lot of teamwork! 🐉💪

Their incredible fundraising will help them and their colleagues at Birmingham Hospice to continue to provide compassionate specialist care and support to local people living with a terminal illness, and their families, when they need it most. ❤️

A huge thank you to the incredible team at Lois Bullion for their fantastic donation of £10,122.53 in support of Birmingham Hospice.

It was a pleasure to welcome Amy and Steve (and Sarah, behind the camera) to our hospice last week and to show and share the impact donations have on those living with a terminal illness and their loved ones. We were delighted to share some wonderful patient stories and were grateful that they took the time to witness the care, compassion and dignity that our hospice teams and volunteers provide every day.

Their generous gift could now help fund 99 nurse visits to patients in their home so they can be cared for in the place of their choice. 💛

Thank you to everyone at Lois Bullion for not only your support, but also your future commitment to supporting our community. Together, we're making every moment matter.

A team of Birmingham Hospice staff are preparing to take on an incredible skydive to raise money for the hospice this September.

Inspired by our Medicines Management Lead, Lisa Wall-Hayes, who initially registered for the challenge, colleagues from our pharmacy, physiotherapy, facilities, governance and clinical teams have signed up to take the plunge, all to help fund the expert care they help deliver every single day.

Lisa shared why she's taking on the challenge: "Working where we do at the hospice you never know what's round the corner, life is too short and not everyone gets the opportunity to do bucket list stuff, so to do something absolutely mad like skydiving at my age, and raise money at the same time is absolutely brilliant."

We're so proud of our amazing team for stepping out of their comfort zones to help ensure we can continue providing vital hospice care for local people and their loved ones. ❤️

We love to share stories of our amazing army of fundraisers, and today we're proud to share the story behind the incredible Bra-B-Q. ❤️

In 2018, Fran was diagnosed with breast cancer, and after her condition worsened, Birmingham Hospice was there to support her and her husband, Laurence, every step of the way. She received expert care in our Inpatient Unit. Fran's nurses, Elizabeth and Karen, weren't just nursing professionals, they became part of her world, providing comfort, compassion and dignity when it mattered most.

When Fran's health declined rapidly, her wish was to return home and thanks to the hospice, that wish came true. The final five days she spent at home with Laurence and their beloved cat Dottie were filled with precious memories.

Fran died peacefully at home in October 2022, aged just 53, surrounded by those she loved.

To honour her memory, her family and friends created the Bra-B-Q – an annual fundraiser that celebrates everything Fran stood for: laughter, friendship, making memories and living life to the fullest.

If Fran's story has inspired you, we'd love for you to join this year's Bra-B-Q and help raise vital funds so we can continue supporting local families when they need us most.
