Like George, many local people living with a terminal diagnosis this Christmas will be lonely, scared and financially strained.

While Birmingham Hospice is here to help, caring for around 1,000 patients on average every day across our services, we are not fully funded by the NHS. Each year, we need to raise £5.5 million to cover the costs of running our charity.

That’s why your donation today is so vital. Without the support of kind people like you, George and other local people living with a terminal diagnosis will not be able to live and die with dignity and in comfort.

Ensure no one dies alone, scared or in pain this Christmas.
