How do you raise the money which does not come from the NHS

Because we have to raise the rest of the money ourselves, we try to suggest different ways people can support us so that something appeals to everyone. Every year we are amazed at the ideas and generosity of those who support us, but our own events such as the Dragon Boat Race, Sky Dives and Wing Walks in particular are fun ways to support us. We also raise funds through our three charity shops, one off and regular donations, and through those who chose to remember us in their will.

What can local people do to help Beaumond House

Not only do we rely heavily on this local community raising funds but also to volunteer to support us – we use volunteers across all aspects of the organisation, from helping in the shops, to talking to and enjoying activities with day-therapy patients, driving, cooking and office based work. We’d love to hear from anyone who can offer some time and or skills to help us – there is always so much to do to keep the organisation running- so the generosity of a huge team of volunteers helps us do this.

How much does it cost to run all of the services at Beaumond House

It costs around £1.3million every year to continue to run all of the services at Beaumond House.

Where does all of that money come from

We currently receive around £500,000 from the Clinical Commissioning Group (NHS) in return for providing the services of our inpatient unit., our Hospice at Home Team and the Day-therapy unit. We do not receive any CCG funding for other services such as complementary therapy and bereavement support.

We have 4 in-patient beds for people with palliative care needs. It might be a short stay is needed to monitor and control symptoms, an admission for extra care when needed and also people can choose the hospice as the place they wish to die. Our day therapy provides therapeutic activities where people come for the day to learn something new, enjoy activities and can have a listening ear and a chat. Hospice care is also brought to you and our Hospice at Home service provides compassionate support when extra care is needed as someone’s condition progresses. We are contactable 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, to provide a friendly ear, general information or to signpost patients, relatives and carers to appropriate resources, services, and self-help groups in the Newark area.

Whatdoes hospicecare mean

Hospice care aims to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of people who have a terminal illness or a long-term condition that cannot be cured, also known as life-limiting. It is free for patients, their carers and family members. Hospice care can be provided at any stage of a person’s condition, not just at the end of their lives. It can include symptom management, and social, practical, emotionaland spiritual support. It helps people live as fully and as well as they can to the end of their lives, however long that may be. This type of care is also known as palliative care and can also be provided in your own home.
