Our impact
St Michael’s Hospice is here for our 190,000-strong community across Hastings and Rother, enabling people who need us to live well with dying, death and loss. In 2024/25, we supported over 1,500 patients with free care and support, including home visits, inpatient care, and wellbeing groups.
Our work generated more than £24 million in social value for our community in 2022 and 2023, proving that hospice care is not only compassionate but transformative.
Volunteers contributed around 13 hours per week in 2022 and 2023.
Our social value report
We commissioned a Social Value Report in 2024 to demonstrate the significant difference we make to our community in East Sussex.
Social value is the wider benefit our Hospice creates beyond financial returns - though our report evidences those too - from improving health and wellbeing to helping people feel prepared, supported, and less vulnerable when life gets tough. It shows how every pound invested in St Michael’s Hospice delivers far-reaching impact: from expert palliative and end-of-life care to reducing isolation and enhancing quality of life for those indirectly touched by our services.
Based on full-year data from 2022 and 2023, with insights from 2024/25, the report reveals that for every £1 given, we return £1.50 in value to the local community. When you give, we give back - creating even greater impact for every pound entrusted to us.
For every £1 given to the Hospice, we give back £1.50 in value to the local community.
