Weldmar Hospicecare is a Dorset charity providing specialist end of life care for adults with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones. Our compassionate approach supports patients and their families in the community, at home, and in our hospice. All of our care is provided free.

We have a dedicated team of nurses, doctors, therapists, social workers and counsellors, but only 17% of our funds are provided by the NHS – we need to raise £27,500 per day, with the support of the local community, in order to continue our services.

Just imagine what could happen if every pound that was donated to Weldmar Hospicecare turned into two pounds? If every ten pounds became twenty pounds, and fifty pounds became one hundred pounds?

Why do we need your support now?

For the past thirty years we have provided specialist end of life care in Dorset free of charge to those who need it. Since the pandemic, the demand for our services has significantly increased with more people looking to Weldmar for specialist support as they are living with very complex conditions. This year alone, our services are going to cost us around one million pounds more than we are able to raise – that is the equivalent of the cost of care provision for 438 local people.

The money raised through Making Every Moment Matter will help us to ensure that no one in Dorset facing the end of life is left without the care they deserve. Your generous contribution could make a life-changing difference.

2024 marks thirty years of Weldmar Hospicecare providing outstanding end-of-life care to adults in Dorset with a life-limiting illness, and support for their loved ones. Help us be here for future generations to come.

Donations made during this 30 hour campaign will be doubled, thanks to generous donors who have kindly committed to match every donation up to the campaign goal.
