Grant News

Grants of up to £20,000 are available to UK hospices to reduce their impact on the environment and enable them to deliver sustainable healthcare.

The funding is primarily to support capital costs. However, revenue costs that help deliver the capital activity can be included. 

The funding is being made available through the Rank Foundation Hospice Grants programme. And the types of projects could include:

• Expanding the use of telemedicine to deliver some care remotely
• Solar panels; ground source heat pumps; and energy efficient LED lighting
• Reducing overall food waste and ensuring the provision of healthier, locally sourced and seasonal menus high in fruits and vegetables. (Could include developing hospice garden/allotment and greenhouses.).

Eligible organisations are independent adult hospices that are members of Hospice UK and based in the UK, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.  

The closing date for applications is 5pm on the 20^th January 2023.
