Get involved and support St Luke’s
No one in Sheffield should face terminal illness alone. With your help, we can give people the care and support they need to live well, right to the end. Get involved today to support local hospice care and help shape our future.
More than ever, St Luke’s needs you
Hospice UK anticipated that 75% of hospices would report a deficit in 2025/26. Funding levels vary widely across the country, and the gap is no longer sustainable. In England, the NHS funds only around 40% of hospice care on average - yet St Luke's has historically received significantly less than less.
Running St Luke's costs £15.5 million a year. Only around a quarter of this is covered by government funding, meaning we must raise over £11 million annually from the people of Sheffield.
St Luke’s is here for people when a terminal diagnosis has turned life upside down. We can’t change that diagnosis, but we work incredibly hard to provide care, comfort and companionship throughout each person’s journey, both at our In Patient Centre and out in the community. People like you make this care possible. Every time you donate, fundraise, volunteer or shop with us, your support helps us continue caring for patients and families in Sheffield, now and in the future.
