🌟 Advocating for Change: Addressing the Hospice Funding Crisis 🌟
Recently, BBC News North West shed light on the critical hospice funding crisis, underscoring the urgent need for collective action. As our nation grapples with this challenge, it becomes evident that the focus must shift towards innovative solutions and community-driven initiatives to bridge the financial gaps.
Wigan & Leigh Hospice insightful post, gives us just one example of the sizable percentage of everyday costs which now are even more reliant on community fundraising initiatives to continue providing these essential care services across the nation.
In the wake of this pressing issue, Rosterfy’s latest white paper, 'How Volunteer Managers and Fundraising Teams can work together to meet fundraising targets' provides a roadmap for collaboration that could be instrumental in overcoming the funding shortfall.
Now, more than ever, the spotlight is on community fundraising as a powerful tool to achieve the necessary funds for hospice support on a national scale. The strength of our communities lies in unity, and by coming together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
Let's approach this challenge with empathy and sensitivity, recognizing that every contribution, big or small, plays a vital role in securing the necessary aid for hospices across the country. By embracing these insights, we can empower volunteer managers and fundraising teams to work seamlessly, amplifying our impact and ensuring that hospices receive the funding they desperately require.
Together, let's turn our thoughts into action, fostering a culture of giving and support. Share your ideas, engage with local initiatives, and let's create a wave of change that uplifts the hospice community nationwide. 🌈🤝

On Wednesday, Annabel Tiffin discussed the wider hospice funding crisis on BBC News North West Tonight.
For anyone who is not aware, like other hospices, Wigan & Leigh Hospice is a charity and only one third of our costs are funded, the rest we must raise through community fundraising, our shops and regular giving. It currently costs £18,500 a day to run the hospice and £12,000 of that must be raised with support from our local community.
