Mary Ann Evans Hospice is a local charity working with families across Warwickshire providing palliative care and bereavement support. As a community based hospice, we provide our care directly into the homes of patients allowing them to be with their friends and family until the end of their life. All our services are free for our patients and their families or carers, however, there is a significant cost involved in providing the wide range of care. It costs around £2.5 million a year to run Mary Ann but we receive less than 30% of our funding from the NHS and Commissioners. This means we rely on donations and fundraising to cover over £1.8 million per year. That is £5000 we need to raise every single day. The support we receive from the local communities makes a huge difference and enables us to continue to provide exceptional care and support for our patients and their families.
