The £400,000 grants programme is provided by Masonic Charitable Foundation and managed by Hospice UK.
Independent charitable hospices that are a member of Hospice UK can apply for grants of up to £40,000.
The funding aims to facilitate a sustainable change in care for people with progressive neurological conditions.
The grants are to enable hospices to initiate or build on programmes of work that will support people with progressive neurological conditions in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
This can be through a number of ways:
- Putting into practice the recommendations or findings from an organisational or local scoping/service mapping exercise.
- Piloting a new project based on a robust needs assessment.
- Introduction of an intervention or tool.
- Adapting existing activities where, through the investment of additional resources, greater impact can be achieved through adoption of new roles and approaches.
- Responding to national policy or research evidence.
The grants can be used for staff salary, equipment, travel and staff training.
The deadline for applications is 18 November 2024 (17:00).
