About Katharine House Hospice Trust

Katharine House Hospice Trust was established in 1987 as a community-founded hospice serving adults with terminal and life-limiting illnesses in north Oxfordshire and south Northamptonshire. Its mission is to enable patients and families to live fully through compassionate, high-quality palliative and end-of-life care, free of charge, addressing physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs. The Trust is guided by values of compassion, respect, dignity, integrity, quality, transparency and inclusivity, and works in partnership with Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Its funding character is deeply local, transparent and focused on measurable outcomes, supporting specialist palliative care initiatives that fill gaps in local provision.

What Katharine House Hospice Trust funds

The Trust funds specialist palliative care initiatives, including inpatient beds, at-home nursing, day hospice, respite care, lymphoedema treatment, bereavement support, clinical infrastructure, essential equipment, staff training and service expansions. It prioritises hospice-led or NHS-partnered projects that fill local care gaps, and has supported refurbishments, equality-focused access and community education. All funding is directed to the Trust's own operations and strategic partners within north Oxfordshire and south Northamptonshire.

Who can apply

Funding is directed to the Trust's own operations and strategic partners – typically medium or large charities and NHS affiliates with proven palliative expertise in the specified areas. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications, so potential partners are approached directly. Beneficiaries are adults with terminal and life-limiting illnesses and their families and carers in the local area.

What Katharine House Hospice Trust doesn't fund

The Trust does not fund unrestricted operating support or general purposes outside its own services. It also does not accept unsolicited applications, meaning it does not consider approaches from organisations outside its strategic partnerships.

How they like to fund

The Trust works by invitation, directing funding to its own operations and strategic partners. It supports both project-specific costs and capital initiatives, such as refurbishments and equipment, and emphasises measurable outcomes and stakeholder collaboration. Funding is provided free of charge to patients and families.
