Hospice Africa was founded in 1992 by Dr Anne Merriman and friends to promote the concept and practice of palliative care (pain control) of cancer patients in Africa. A palliative care service is provided in Uganda, along with education programmes for health professionals. Projects in other countries are also supported.
Hospice Income Generation Network, formerly known as the National Association of Hospice Fundraisers, supports and advances the education and training of income generators within the hospice movement to maintain and improve professional standards of fundraising, retail and communications. By fulfilling these objectives the association aims to enhance the role of the individual within the hospice movement, improving standards and efficiency so that the income is raised and publicity developed. HIGN is a membership charity for those working in UK hospices in fundraising, retail and communications roles.
The Hospice provides highly specialised palliative care for people living with advanced diseases from the communities of Chester, Deeside, Ellesmere port and Rural Cheshire. Our services are provided free of charge to anyone in medical need. These include Medical, Nursing, Social, Emotional and Spiritual support for Patients and their families.

Hourglass works across the UK supporting victims of abuse, those concerned about an older person, families, carers and practioners. The Hourglass mission is simple: end the harm, abuse and exploitation of older people in the UK. We have nearly 30 years experience and over that time our work has touched tens of thousands of people, it's shaped government policy and amplified the issue in national press. That's why Hourglass is so vital. As the UK's only charity focused on the abuse and neglect of older people, we staff a confidential 24/7 free-to-call helpline. It's an absolute lifeline for older men, women and their families suffering from from the five forms of abuse: physical, Psychological, financial, sexual or neglect.
