Hospices in England to receive £100m funding boost
The UK Government’s announcement of £100 million in funding to support hospices over the next two years is a significant step towards ensuring everyone has access to dignified and high-quality end-of-life care.
At Flexmort, we wholeheartedly support this initiative, which aligns closely with our mission to provide solutions that enhance compassionate care during life’s most challenging moments.
Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting highlighted the critical role hospices play, stating:
“Hospices provide the care and support for patients and families at the most difficult time, so it is only right they are given the financial support to provide these services. This package will ensure they will be able to continue to deliver the compassionate care everyone deserves as they come to the end of their life in the best possible environment.”
The Impact on Hospice Care
This funding will enable hospices to continue their vital work and enhance outreach services, ensuring support extends to patients in their own homes when needed. The recognition of the financial strain hospices have faced, particularly in the wake of rising costs, is a relief for hospice staff, patients, families, and communities.
For families saying goodbye to a loved one, having access to resources that provide comfort, dignity, and care is immeasurable. This funding empowers hospices to meet these needs while focusing on providing an environment where every individual feels supported.
A Message from Steve Huggins, Commercial Director of Flexmort
“At Flexmort, we applaud the government’s commitment to hospices through this funding package.

This funding recognises the incredible efforts of hospice staff and their pivotal role in providing comfort and support both before and after death.
We remain committed to supporting hospices with practical, compassionate tools that align with their mission of providing the highest standard of care in every environment, whether in hospices or patients’ homes. We are proud to stand alongside the hospice community as they continue this vital work.”
