Mountbatten hospice group is a leading provider of palliative and end-of-life care in the UK, supporting 4,000 individuals at any one time, across parts of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. We exist to promote and to provide good care and support for those people living with, affected by, or curious about death, dying and bereavement.
We are the largest organisation of our kind in the region, with a budget of over £20m and serving a population of over 700,000; and with 200% growth in the number of people we are supporting in the last four years. We have worked in partnership to invest significantly in our 24/7 community-based services and care coordination centres, enabling us to expand our reach and the number of people we can support at any one time. We have been recognised at the Hospice UK Awards for both our innovative work in community services and championing digital technology.
Community engagement is key to enabling us to meet the diverse needs of our population. We are proud of the role our two hospice buildings play in our local communities, providing welcoming and vibrant spaces with a wide range of activities and services, which complement our inpatient units. As part of our offer we provide a wide range of bereavement and therapy services, alongside a focus on encouraging advanced care planning and enabling people to feel able to talk about death and dying more openly.
