Hospice UK, in partnership with the Masonic Charitable Foundation (MCF), has launched a new application round offering a total of £400,000 in funding to hospices in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

The purpose is to improve accessibility and support for people experiencing financial hardship or socio-economic deprivation. Projects could involve assessing hospices’ accessibility, identifying barriers to care, redesigning services, strengthening partnerships, training staff and volunteers, or evaluating the impact of changes made.

Up to 10–14 hospices will be selected for projects lasting 18 months, which include a three-month setup phase, one year of delivery, and a final three months to manage any unforeseen delays.

To be eligible, hospices must be independent charitable hospices, members of Hospice UK, and located in the eligible UK regions. Both adult and children’s hospices may apply. Those already participating in the Progressive Neurological Conditions grant programme are excluded.

Applications close at 5pm on17 November 2025, with successful applicants to be notified in early February 2026.
