I honestly don’t know what I’d have done without the Hospice friendship, support and companionship at such a truly difficult time. These nurses are special, they have genuine compassion, and I will never forget what they did for me.
Hospices across Great Britain offer essential care for those facing life-limiting illnesses and their families at an incredibly challenging time. Services include specialist therapies, symptom management, emotional and financial support, respite care, and bereavement services. Whether through inpatient care, home visits, or therapies, hospices provide comfort, independence, and dignity during end-of-life care for both children and adults, completely free of charge.
By pooling resources and sharing one prize fund and one set of administrative costs, partner hospices are able to generate a regular and sustainable income from the Lottery, ensuring their vital care continues now and in the future. In 2025, £17,568,000 was raised from tickets purchased by players supporting all participating hospices, with 2% spent on prizes, 9% spent on administration and management, and 21% reinvested to recruit new lottery players. The remaining 68% was given to hospice care – an amazing total of £11,913,000. The more people that play in support of them, the more each hospice receives.
