About us

How we're run

Find out about our governance and read our Annual Reports.

Our aim has always been to put patients first, and that everyone living with life-limiting illnesses deserves to have access to the specialist help they need.

And we couldn’t do it without the continued generosity of our supporters. This is why we want to be as transparent as possible about the way we work, so you can feel secure that your donations are being used in the best possible way.

What we want to achieve as a charity

To excel in all we do, acting with compassion, integrity and innovation.
To reach everyone who needs our help.
To be leaders and innovators in research and education.
To provide sustainable healthcare that stays true to our values.

We are committed to ensuring that our expertise can reach everyone who needs it over the next 50 years and beyond. Our new care strategy describes how we intend to do this – by developing our services and teams over the coming five years and working in partnership with others to improve end-of-life and palliative care for our local community.
