Hospices of Hope
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work fits only if it is palliative or end-of-life care, bereavement support or medical training, and the service is hospice care of a high international standard that is free to the beneficiary, since the funder works only with organisations meeting that standard and does not fund others.
- Its stated priority countries are Romania, Serbia, Albania, Greece, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, and it works largely through country partners there.
- The grant range is not stated, and the annual report shows about £1,013,909 paid in total, so size any request to your specific project and expect regular reporting against the funder's objectives.
- No application process is published, so the most practical first step is to use the contact shown on its website or in the annual report to ask how to apply and to show how your project meets its objectives.
Overview
Hospices of Hope is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1088475).
Hospices of Hope is a registered charity in England and Wales that works to improve the quality of life of patients needing palliative care and their families in South and East Europe. It aims to increase provision and access to palliative care services, bereavement support and training of medical personnel, wherever possible through its main country partners. Its mission began because of the effect of decades of communist rule and neglect on health services in the region, where no specialist services were available for these patients. Its network includes Hospice Casa Sperantei and Hospice Emanuel in Romania, BELhospice in Serbia, Hospices of Hope Moldova, Ryder Albania in Albania, Merimna and Nosilia in Greece, and the St. Panteleimon charity fund for the Regional Palliative Care Centre Ivano-Frankivsk in Ukraine. It paid £1,013,909 in its most recent annual report.
