We support people living through the challenges of life-changing illness. We support people in our residential and day centres, day clinics, in the community or at home. We help people affected by cancer, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, stroke, brain injury and life changing illnesses.

We're a national charity providing health and social care services in local communities.

What do we offer local communities every year?

• 4 million hours of care
• Over 100,000 days of long-term residential care
• More than 8,000 volunteers
• One of the largest specialist palliative care providers in the UK

We provide compassionate care services to people with long-term and end of life needs. We do this in hospices, residential care centres, in the community and in people's homes. And we support families, friends and carers.

We're committed to improving standards in long-term and end of life care and have ongoing programme of innovation and research:

• our partnership with the University of Nottingham increases knowledge across the whole sector
• we have piloted leading hospice-at-home services and holistic care management programmes for people with complex physical and psychological needs
• we recently received government recognition for improving end of life care for people with long-term conditions
• we are part of an international health and social care partnership with fifty projects across 12 countries in Europe and southern Africa

Our health and social care services are supported by our retail, fundraising and volunteering teams.
