Donations

Making a donation to the hospice is more that just a gift gratefully received. Your donation is an investment in the future of quality palliative care throughout Norfolk and the Fens.

The vital work of your local hospice relies on the generous support and voluntary donations we receive from our supporters. This support helps us continue providing care to over 200 people every month of the year. 

Making a single donation
The range of practical and emotional support services we offer is varied and our hospice costs £1 million a year to run.  Listed below are just a few of the services we offer and how much they cost.

• £50 can pay for a specialist palliative care nurse to carry out a home visit
• £100 can provide specialist equipment to aid mobility and independence
• £150 can provide therapeutic day care for one patient, including complementary therapies, creative activities and lunch
• £400 can provide carer support groups throughout the year for up to five people, giving advice and support to families coping with providing care for their loved ones at home
• £1,000 provides a specially adapted electronic bed for loan to a patient who wishes to spend their final days at home
• £5,000 Specialist Day Hospice Nurse for one day a week for a year
• £18,000 could provide an oxygen machine for our respiratory patients so they can participate in activities which we all take for granted

Making a regular donation
Making a regular donation to The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House is the best possible way to support the care we provide in the community. Supporters who make regular monthly donations are vital to our hospice because their support gives us a clear idea of future income. This means we can help our patients and their families today and also plan our services for the coming months and years.  Set up a regular donation today by using this form.

Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is one of the most tax-effective ways of donating to the Hospice. With Payroll Giving, your donation is taken from your pay before tax is deducted. This means your donation costs you less and the taxman makes up the difference.

To find out more on Payroll Giving, please telephone our Fundraising Team on 01485 542891.

Leaving a Lasting Gift in Your Will
A gift in your Will can help us to achieve long-term financial stability, allowing us to continue with the care that is vital to so many, and to plan and build for the future, so we can help more people in more ways. Leaving a legacy to the Hospice means that people who need our support will get it for generations to come.

By remembering the Hospice in your Will, you are making a gift of hope to those who may need the services of the hospice in the future.
