About Hospice in the Weald
Hospice in the Weald is a registered charity and not part of the NHS. We rely on support from the community we serve, to enable us to develop and deliver our services. It costs over £7 million to run the Hospice every year the majority of which comes from voluntary contributions from the general public. In addition, we have over 1000 volunteers giving their time to the Hospice by helping in every Service and Department.
We expect all members of staff to support the fundraising activities of the Hospice. We encourage every staff member to help out at, at least two fundraising activities every year. Opportunities to support fundraising activities are varied, and could include helping at fundraising or shop events, attending a cheque presentation or giving a short talk about the work of the Hospice to an interested group in the community.
