This February St. Rocco’s Hospice along with 142 hospices across England, Scotland and Wales will be taking part in a nationwide campaign with Hospice UK to spread the key message that ‘Hospice Care is for all, for now, forever.'

After months of research, planning and execution the campaign launches from Monday 17th February and aims to send a unified message across the nation through powerful storytelling and inclusive representation using various campaign materials including a tv advert and social media campaign.

Catherine Bosworth, Director of Income Generation and Grants at Hospice UK, said, “Over the next few decades, income from Gifts in Wills represents a huge opportunity for the hospice sector. But without significant action, hospices risk continuing to lose market share. This incredible and unprecedented coalition of 143 hospices across England, Scotland, and Wales marks the first time we've collaborated on such a large scale.

I’m truly blown away by the response and support from our members, and I'm excited to see this campaign come to fruition in February 2025. We’re hopeful that local hospices will begin to see the benefits in the years ahead.

Thank you for your continued dedication, support and collaboration.”

This is Hospice Care

Did you know that 1 in 6 patients at St. Rocco’s Hospice are supported through Gifts in Wills?

St. Rocco’s Hospice have provided compassionate, free care to those in the Warrington Community for four decades, but we wouldn’t have been able to do this without the kind and generous gifts that people have left us in their wills.

By leaving a gift in your will, you can help us continue to provide this care to hundreds of people and their families each year, now and forever. With only a fifth of our costs covered by the government and NHS, campaigns like this are crucial to the survival and growth of hospices.

This is hospice care.
