As we move out of the pandemic, it is clear that the pressures on the established Hospice business model that were evident even before March 2020, are now greater than ever. Whilst the Government money for the sector helped mask the impact of Covid, at least in England, many hospices are projecting significant deficits for the current year.   

The latest Hospice Accounts report shows that the return on investment, for each pound spent, from hospices voluntary and earned income streams continues to fall. In 2012 it was £2.61; in 2020 it was £2.20. Moreover, total hospice legacy income has been falling since 2018. As research by Legacy Futures has shown, the sector is increasingly losing market share to other charities that have been more pro-active in marketing gifts in wills.  Unsurprisingly, many hospices are now looking at alternative commercial income generation activities. But there is also scope to improve performance in existing revenue streams.  

To assist Hospices in their approach to income generation, HQP has partnered with David Burland, an experienced fundraising consultant, who will deliver practical advice around strategy and operations. David has worked in the voluntary sector for over 30 years, bringing vast experience from his time as a Director of Fundraising at local and national levels, as well as a Hospice Chief Executive, a Trustee and a Director of several charity-related enterprises. In recent years, he has advised a number of hospices around their income generation activities and strategies.
