Hospices
Every year, The Hospice of St Francis supports over 2,000 people who are living with a life-limiting illness in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We provide support to individuals in one of our 14 Hospice beds, in their own homes or as outpatients through clinics, courses, physiotherapy, practical and spiritual advice and complementary therapy at our health and wellbeing Spring Centre. We also support families and carers. All our care is provided free and we rely on donations for more than 80% of our £4.8m annual running costs.
In 2005 Margaret Howat was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. The treatment is punishing and extremely experimental, and through the guidance of Professor Tessa Holyoake (Professor of Experimental Haematology at Glasgow University) and her team, she has had a Bone Marrow transplant and now leads a very normal life. The Howat Foundation was founded by Malcolm and Margaret Howat in 2009. We are proud to support cancer research at the University of Glasgow, and we hope you will join us.

Our aim is to prevent dehydration in the elderly and those less mobile by donating a specially designed hands-free drinking system called The Hydrant. Anyone with limited mobility particularly those who struggle to reach, hold or lift a drink is likely to benefit from a Hydrant. We believe this could be as many as 3 million people in Great Britain. Hydrants are successfully being used in hospitals, care homes and in the community all around the UK. But there are many more individuals particularly out in the community whose lives could be transformed by having independent access to fluids. It will help people with neurological conditions such as MS, Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson’s, stroke sufferers also cancer patients and those in palliative care and many other types of conditions. We want to donate free Hydrant systems to relevant health charities, patients and user groups to reach those individuals who stand to benefit the most.
The Institute of Art and Ideas (IaI) is committed to fostering a progressive and vibrant intellectual culture in the UK.
