salisburyhospicecharity.org.ukAbout Salisbury Hospice Charity Limited
Salisbury Hospice Charity Limited, established in 1981 and later formalised as a company limited by guarantee, exists to relieve suffering for adults with terminal or life-limiting illnesses, primarily cancer, and their families and carers in Salisbury and surrounding areas. It provides substantial financial support to Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust for hospice-based and community palliative care, guided by values of compassion, dignity, holistic support, respect for individual wishes, and equitable access regardless of ability to pay. The charity acts as a strategic co-funder, sustaining over half of the hospice's core costs through community fundraising, with a conservative approach to reserves.
What Salisbury Hospice Charity Limited funds
The charity funds tightly focused palliative and end-of-life services, including inpatient hospice beds, Hospice at Home night nursing, community and hospital teams, physiotherapy, complementary therapies, bereavement counselling for adults and children, emotional wellbeing activities, staff training, and occasional capital projects such as treatment room refurbishments. It also supports research and volunteer training aligned to this remit. The geography covered includes Salisbury, southern Wiltshire, north Dorset, and west Hampshire.
Who can apply
Eligibility is restricted to established NHS partners in Salisbury, southern Wiltshire, north Dorset, and west Hampshire. The charity does not accept unsolicited applications from external charities, small grassroots groups, or organisations outside this geography. Beneficiaries are local adults with advanced illnesses and their families, with an emphasis on improved quality of life, symptom management, dignified deaths, and resilient support networks.
