Sheffield Hospice in Crisis | Sheffield News

A Sheffield hospice is on the brink, facing a $1.7 million shortfall as soaring costs and rising demand collide in a worsening economy. With just 26% of its funding from the NHS, it relies on charity — and now, its CEO is racing to find efficiencies and new partnerships to avoid cuts that could mean fewer services and more job losses. Richard Scholey, whose wife received life-changing care there, is rallying support — raising over $10,000 through a personal challenge and lobbying officials — to highlight how hospices deliver dignity, comfort, and vital support that eases pressure on the NHS. Across England, the crisis is spreading: many hospices are already scaling back, leaving patients without basic palliative care and hospitals overburdened. St Luke’s stands as a beacon — and its survival is a national imperative. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
