Hospice UK
Hospice care eases the physical and emotional pain of death and dying. Letting people focus on living, right until the end.
But too many people miss out on this essential care. Hospice UK fights for hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.
As the national champion for hospices, we fight to make sure hospice care is there for everyone, from every background. We fight to make sure hospices are able to deliver the best, personalised care. We fight to make sure hospices can thrive – today and into the future.
We represent the community of more than 200 hospices across the UK. They do everything they can for children and adults living with long-term illnesses or approaching the end of their lives. We do everything we can to support hospices’ invaluable work.
Right now, the UK’s hospices care for about 300,000 people each year. That number is going to get even bigger in the coming years. But hospices are underfunded, undervalued and under more pressure than ever.
Our mission is to promote and protect hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.

Our Vision
A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.
Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.
In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.
They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.
Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
