Sobell House
Since 1976, Sobell House Hospice has provided compassionate care to adults with a life-limiting illness and supported their loved ones. At any given time, they care for around 600 people across Oxfordshire at home, on their inpatient unit, in the local hospitals, and through their Living Well service.
The Hospice’s mission is to enrich the lives of local patients and their loved ones. That’s why their focus is on the here and now while making every moment matter. By providing their patients with a better quality of life, Sobell House Hospice hope to give them more time to make memories with loved ones, or to do do what matters most to them.
In addition to specialised medical care, the Hospice are able to offer a wide range of services to help fulfil every person’s psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual needs. They also provide bereavement support to those who have lost a loved one.
How playing the Local Hospice Lottery helps Sobell House
All of the vital care Sobell House provide for patients and their loved ones across Oxfordshire is completely free of charge. Although Sobell House receives a percentage of their income from the local NHS, they simply could not continue to provide many of their services without the continued generosity of their supporters. Sobell House needs to raise in the region of £4 million each year to help fund the care they provide to the people of Oxfordshire.
Profits from the Local Hospice Lottery provide a regular stream of income that Sobell House can rely on receiving each and every month. These funds help to provide essential care and support for local people and their families right now, as well as enabling Sobell House to plan and develop our services for the future.
In 2023, £13,644,000 was raised from tickets purchased by players supporting all participating hospices, with 2% spent on prizes, 12% spent on administration and management and 19% reinvested to recruit new lottery players. The remaining 67% was given to hospice care – an amazing total of £9,163,000.
Local Hospice Lottery will give between 60% and 80% of profits from individuals playing in support of Sobell House Hospice Charity Limited to Sobell House Hospice Charity Limited. This is expected to be at least £1,000,000 over five years from April 2024.
