Trusts and Foundations

Thank you to all our incredible Trust and Foundation supporters, who play a critical role in supporting Willen Hospice to provide the best possible services.

Grant funding from our generous Trust and Foundation supporters ensures that not only can we support with capital appeals, projects and additional services, but we can continue meeting the needs of our patients and their loved ones.

Funding from Trusts and Foundations allows our Hospice to remain a specialist palliative and end of life care organisation.

Through our supporters help, we have achieved above and beyond for our patients, families and their loved ones. Certainly, our supporters have helped us to create magic at a vulnerable time in their lives.

their lives.

  • Building a legacy

A transformative project, inspired by a generous legacy donation allowed Willen to dream beyond what we could have imagined. Our previous building no longer reflected our growing services needs and diverse portfolio of support we want to provide.

  • Therapy and Wellbeing and Living Well:

Recognising the ripple effect that the death of a loved one can prompt, we have an incredibly dedicated team on hand to provide support at the beginning of a journey with terminal illnesses and post bereavement. Our Trust and Foundation supporters are crucial in ensuring these vitally important services continue running.

  • In-Patient Unit:

Following the huge changes our Hospice underwent, we incorporated a number of fantastic enhancements thanks to our generous grant donations.

Some our generous Trust and Foundation supporters include:

John Armitage Charitable Trust

Despite the challenging climate we find ourselves in, our resolve to support patients and their loved ones endures.

With a huge thanks to supporters such as the John Armitage Charitable Trust, providing us with core grants, we can focus on providing excellent services.

Milton Keynes Foundation       

As part of our innovative Building a Legacy improvements, the Foundation supported us with a grant to fund a new Hoist and Tracking system on our In-Patient Unit.               

The February Foundation

We are incredibly thankful to the February Foundation for supporting us with a grant towards our social care team.
