Crowns for Causes

From June to August 2026, turn everyday activity into support for hospice care – whether it’s walking the dog, cycling to work, going to the gym or getting out for some fresh air.

With Joe Wicks supporting the campaign as our celebrity ambassador, we’re encouraging people across the UK to get involved.

There’s no fundraising, sponsorship or intense training required. Just move in a way that works for you – and make it count.

Our funding relationship launch

We were incredibly proud to launch the new long-term funding relationship in September 2024 at St Christopher's in London, where the modern hospice movement was established by Dame Cicely Saunders in 1967.

Hospice UK's mission, with the incredible support of Postcode Lottery players, is to promote and protect hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.
