Trusts and Foundations

Grant funding, trusts and foundations play a huge role in helping us be the organisation we need to be for our community.
Caring for our community together

Support Willen Hospice

We are the only adult hospice providing specialist palliative and end-of-life care in Milton Keynes, and running our services costs £16,175 each day. Ongoing NHS funding meets just 15% of those costs, so we’re heavily dependent on the kindness of our supporters.

The power of grants

In recent years we’ve received grants for projects big and small that have allowed us to make a positive difference for local people affected by life-limiting illness.

Thanks to the Balney Charitable Trust, we now have quieter gardening equipment, so that our Estates team can carry out their work whilst maintaining a tranquil environment for patients staying with us.

Children in Need’s funding enabled us to employ an art psychotherapist, who is helping children who had a loved one at the Hospice express their feelings about loss and navigate the grief process.

Just as importantly, the John Armitage Charitable Trust and Albert Hunt Trust support our core operations, so that we can continue providing our specialist care completely free of charge.
