Help fund vital hospice services locally
By kindly choosing to play the Local Hospice Lottery each week, you are helping us to provide compassionate care to our community. We look after people…..
At the hospice
On our inpatient unit we look after patients for temporary admissions or for end-of-life care. We have 20 beds available which overlook our gardens or the nearby golf course. Many describe the inpatient unit as a home-from-home, with the benefit of round the clock care. Also housed within the Hospice is our Living Well service, where day patients can benefit from companionship and a range of activities to support their wellbeing.
At Home
For some patients it’s hugely important for them to stay at home. This is where our community team can help, by taking calls and making home visits to offer specialist equipment, advice and care to patients and the people important to them. This service extends to provide rapid support to patients at home in a crisis through a virtual ward and Home Hospice service.
In Hospital
Perhaps lesser known is the work we do within the local hospitals. Our specialist hospital palliative care team work alongside hospital ward teams in an advisory capacity, providing their expertise to give patients the best possible care – from symptom managements to emotional support. The Hospital Rapid Response service helps to support early discharge for people dying in hospital so they can return home, if this is their choice.
Your money will be well spent locally
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.
