Charitable Trusts

In recent years, we have been grateful for the support of several incredible Trusts and Foundations, including:

• The Albert Hunt Trust – providing unrestricted funding for our core hospice care.
• The Morrisons Foundation – supporting our patients through funding for essential medical equipment, including syringe drivers.
• The Sylvia and Colin Shepherd Charitable Trust – helping us deliver compassionate care for local people at every stage of life.
• Hospice UK – offering long standing support that helps us reach more people in the Five Towns.
• Wakefield Council – funding our beautiful summerhouses, giving patients a peaceful space to relax close to nature
• The Pavers Foundation – supporting the purchase of recliner chairs for our 14 bedrooms, as well as contributing to our running costs.
• The James Tudor Foundation – generously funding our specialist nurses on our Incare Unit.

These partnerships strengthen our services and ensure that local people receive the care and dignity they deserve.

This community led approach proved that early intervention, local presence and trusted relationships can transform access to care. We are deeply grateful to Hospice UK for making this impact possible.
Thanks to funding from Hospice UK, we’ve have been able to reach more people in our community who didn’t believe they had access to hospice care. Together, we have worked to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background or location, has access to high-quality care. We were delighted that Hospice UK agreed to fund this initiative in Featherstone, where 60% of residents live with chronic illness, because it tackled health inequalities head-on, specifically addressing the barriers faced in post-industrial communities.

By moving out of a clinical setting and into the heart of the community at Featherstone Library, the Hospice has transformed how local people perceive and access support. The impact has been outstanding. While we initially hoped to reach 90 people, the project has supported over 215 individuals, successfully engaging groups that are traditionally harder to reach, including men and younger people.

This project is a shining example of how community-led outreach can dispel myths and provide early intervention. Thank you to Hospice UK for their constant support.

If you are interested in supporting The Prince of Wales Hospice through a Trust or Foundation, we would love to hear from you. Sophie, our Relationship Fundraiser, will be delighted to partner with you and help you achieve the biggest impact for your grant. We would love you to be involved with our Hospice, through visits, impact reports, photo updates and potentially volunteering, so we can make your donation go as far as possible in our Five Towns community.
