Dear Prime Minister #8 💛

Christine Warner, Bereavement Lead at St Christopher's Hospice, shares why hospice bereavement services are so important for families navigating grief.

Hospice care doesn’t end with death. For many families, bereavement support provides vital guidance through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

That’s why we’re calling for fair hospice funding now.

Today is Celebration Day, and we’re thrilled to be a charity partner 🧡

This special day is a chance for us all to pause and celebrate the lives of those who shaped us.
This year, we’ve worked with Celebration Day to create free, age‑appropriate resources that help normalise conversations about loss, encourage celebrating lives, and support emotional literacy in children and young people.

We’ve also developed take‑home guides for parents, to help continue supportive conversations at home through clear language, shared reflection and meaningful activities.

DEAR PRIME MINISTER #6 💛

Meet Emma Lupton, Child Bereavement Service Lead at St Christopher's Hospice

Hospice staff like Emma, work to ensure the safeguarding and wellbeing of our bereaved children and young people when they need it most. But with surging costs and insufficient funding to the hospice sector, the care that Emma and many others provide is under threat.

That’s why we’re calling for fair funding now.

That's why we're calling for fair funding now.

DEAR PRIME MINISTER #3 💛

These are just some of the empty beds at St Helena Hospice They are empty because they simply do not have the funds to run them.

Right now, there are patients in desperate need of these beds, who instead of receiving the care they deserve, are on waiting lists or in hospital corridors. That’s why we’re calling for fair funding for hospices, now.
