Hospice care is facing a complex cocktail of challenges: growing demand, reduced funding and increasing commercial competition are driving significant changes in how you operate. The solution to these challenges is going to require new ideas, new approaches and new relationships. Success will depend on your ability to share your innovations, with commissioners, supporters, partners, and patients. Success will depend on your ability to communicate well, and realise the potential of your brand.

We have been working with charities since we launched in 2005, and in that time have witnessed the changes effecting the charity sector. In 2007 we began working with Hospiscare, a hospice based in Exeter. Our initial work was to develop their brand, to help them communicate with more consistency. In 2013 we helped them take another step in their development, when we worked with them to launch a campaign to raise £250k. The campaign is supporting a project to build a new day hospice in Honiton, Devon, so Hospiscare can bring care closer to the local community. Working closely with Hospiscare, and other charities, we have witnessed the challenges, and the solutions, facing the sector. ‘Preparing your hospice for the future’ is a document we have produced, outlining our recommendations for hospices, as you adapt to a changing environment. You can download it here, by completing the form below.
