St Luke’s Hospice is extremely grateful for and proud of the tremendous support we receive from Charitable Trusts, Foundations and grant-giving funds of all sizes.
This support enables us to fund new projects and contributes towards our essential core running costs which means we can continue providing free end of life care of the highest quality to people in Harrow and Brent.
It is only through the generosity of our Trust and Foundation funders that we have been able to bring important innovative improvements in palliative care to our local community for over 30 years.
Trusts can choose to fund a particular project, a specific service or you can allow us to allocate your grant where we know it will have the most impact.
Recent projects generously funded include:
Our Wellbeing Service, which
- Enables all those affected by a life-limiting illness to feel supported to live as well as possible through all stages of their illness
