Grant News
Hospices that are members of Hospice UK can apply for grants of up to £2,000 to deliver specialist training courses for care home staff, with a particular focus on dementia care for people approaching end of life. The funding programme has allocated £50,000 to support at least 25 hospices across the UK, with organisations able to apply for up to two grants per year.
The funding which is made available through the Wolfson Foundation Hospice Care Home Training Programme covers a comprehensive range of costs associated with delivering CPD-accredited training, including teaching expenses, venue hire, travel costs, and catering. Both new courses and repeat sessions of existing training programmes are eligible, though the funding cannot be used for in-house training. The programme supports single training events as well as series of sessions designed to enhance care home staff skills and knowledge.
Interested hospices must submit their applications through the online grants portal at least one month before their planned training date. Successful applicants will be responsible for all aspects of training delivery, from needs assessment and promotion to evaluation and reporting. The scheme operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and all granted funds must be claimed within 12 months of the award.
For further information about this opportunity, hospices can contact the Grants Team directly at grants@hospiceuk.org.
