Birmingham Hospice
Birmingham Hospice is the new name for Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice and John Taylor Hospice. We are the primary provider of adult hospice care in Birmingham, providing expert palliative and end of life care to local people living with terminal diagnosis - at our hospice, in the community, or in their own homes, wherever home may be. We are also here to support families, carers and loved ones through the most difficult times of their lives. All of our services are free of charge to everyone that uses them however, lack of government funding means we are struggling to keep up with spiralling costs, making it harder for us to care for everyone who needs it. This year, we estimate it could cost £20 million to run Birmingham Hospice. 60% of this comes from the NHS, the remaining 40% has to be raised through fundraising activity, income from our shops and voluntary donations. We desperately need your help to provide vital palliative and end of life care in your local community.
