Mountbatten Isle of Wight and Mountbatten Hampshire are once again joining forces with more than one hundred hospices across the UK, as part of a campaign highlighting the impact of gifts left in Wills. 

As part of Hospice UK's 'This Is Hospice Care' campaign, a national television advert hits our screens over the next fortnight. 

What is the This is Hospice Care campaign?

Showing patients being cared for at home, surrounded by their families and with an ever-present hospice nurse on hand to support them, This is Hospice Care delivers plenty of emotional punch.

Hospices are up to one-third funded by the NHS. The majority of the money they need is delivered by fundraising and donations — including by money left to them in Wills.

These gifts — whether a set amount or a percentage of your estate, large or small — play a vital part in allowing hospices like Mountbatten to continue to deliver their care.

This is Hospice Care creates an evocative picture of the vital work of hospices — from caring for patients in their own homes to nursing on inpatient units, and from support through grief and rehabilitation to running clubs and groups, getting people talking and sharing their experiences.

Produced by Hospice UK, the television advert puts hospices at the very heart of our communities, with viewers encouraged to search for their own local hospice.
