Lewis-Manning Hospice Care Joins National Campaign to Highlight the Growing Need for Hospice Care

Lewis-Manning Hospice Care is proud to be part of a nationwide initiative, “This is Hospice Care” a groundbreaking campaign uniting 143 hospices across England, Scotland, and Wales. Launched by Hospice UK, this movement aims to raise awareness of the vital role Gifts in Wills play as part of hospice funding.

The campaign launched on 17th February and has immediately captured hearts and minds through a powerful TV advert based on real life hospice stories. The goal is to encourage people to consider leaving a gift in their will to support their local hospice.

Loca Dorset Hospices like Lewis-Manning provide compassionate, expert care and support to patients with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones. However, as demand for hospice services continues to rise, it is essential to secure long-term funding to ensure no one faces their journey alone.

Lewis-Manning CEO Clare Gallie said, “We are thrilled to be part of this important campaign giving us the opportunity to work in partnership and collaboration with many other hospices. As a group of hospices we’ve come together to shine a light on the essential role hospices play in our communities and protect our futures. Last year, we supported over 1200 patients and their families. One in four of these were cared for with thanks to kind gifts in wills. Legacy gifts are essential in securing the future of Your Hospice in Your Community, helping us continue to provide comfort, dignity, and expert support for generations to come. Together, we can help hospice care live on for all, for now, forever.”

Gifts in wills are already playing a crucial role in sustaining hospice care, with many hospices relying on legacy donations to fund a significant portion of their services. At Lewis-Manning Hospice Care, one in four patients are cared for with thanks to kind gifts in wills. Without this generosity, the ability to meet growing demand will be at risk.
