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
You may have seen recent coverage of the national hospice funding debate on BBC News, addressing Hospice UK’s report of a staggering £77m funding deficit. Like many UK hospices, St Luke’s is facing the crippling impact of rising costs alongside increased demand for care. NHS funding covers just 23% of our running costs, which means we must raise over £11m of the £15m needed this year to continue providing our services to patients and families across 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.
