This is Hospice Care campaign

Strathcarron Hospice joins 143 UK Hospices to launch the This is Hospice Care campaign to ensure future of Hospice Care

64% of over 55's in Scotland do not have a Will - the lowest rate in the UK
 
Strathcarron Hospice is proud to announce the launch of the nation-wide "This is Hospice Care" campaign to help raise the profile of hospices and the incredible work they do across their local communities.
A first for the UK Hospice sector, this is a collaboration between 143 hospices across Scotland, England, and Wales, brought together by Hospice UK. As a registered charity, Strathcarron Hospice relies heavily on donations to keep the doors open.
This campaign includes national TV advertising, will shine a light on the essential role hospices play for individuals and their families living with life limiting conditions, and protect hospice care for future generations.

Gifts in wills are crucial to the survival and growth of hospices, that’s why Strathcarron is asking their incredible supporters and community to consider leaving a gift to their local hospice.
Strathcarron Hospice needs to raise over £16,637 every single day and this figure will continue to rise as our costs increase. All money we receive assist the hospice to provide vital services, which are FREE to those who use them across these local communities.
 
With only one third of Strathcarron Hospice funded by the Government, the charity is incredibly grateful to our generous supporters who make up the significant shortfall.
 
Mags McCarthy, CEO Strathcarron Hospice: “Over 10% of Strathcarron Hospice’s annual income comes from Gifts in Wills. This helps us pay for person-centred nursing care, equipment, care in the Hospice, care in people’s homes. Gifts in Wills help us keep our services FREE for people across Forth Valley, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth.
“But, just as this incredible support wouldn't exist without hospices across the UK, hospice care wouldn't exist without YOU. Strathcarron relies heavily on charitable donations to keep our doors open. With rising costs and growing demand for hospice services, these gifts are now more important to us than ever. That's why we've come together to shine a light on the essential role hospices play in our communities and protect our future”.
64% of over 55's in Scotland do not have a will, which is the lowest rate in the UK. By making a will and considering leaving a gift to your local Hospice, you can help Strathcarron continue to provide vital care, ensuring that everyone has the support they need for generations to come.
Strathcarron Hospice is felt by many to be the very heart of communities, offering compassionate care and support when they need it most. For many, a hospice will touch lives, whether for your life, a loved one, or a friend, providing comfort, dignity, and expert care through life's most challenging times.
Here are just a few reasons why you should make your Will today:
  • Having a Will in place gives you and those you love, peace of mind that your wishes will be met after your death.
  • It can also help to reduce stress and cost for your family if you already have made these decisions.
  • You can use your Will to ensure your values live on by making a gift to charity after you’ve provided for those you care about. 
  • You can make a Will at any age or stage of life.
  • Having a Will allows you to decide what happens to your money, property and possessions after your death.
  • You can leave Strathcarron a gift of just 1%, leaving those closest to you to inherit 99%
Together, we can make sure that hospice care lives on for all, for now, forever.
