Funding to support the provision of palliative and end of life care to people with low socioeconomic status in England and Wales.

As part of its partnership with Hospice UK, the Masonic Charitable Foundation has launched a new fund that seeks to ensure that marginalised individuals and those experiencing poverty have equitable access quality care at the end of life.

Applications will be considered from full member adult hospices and children's hospices that are based in England, Wales, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

Projects should be linked to aspects of the following:

• Awareness of, and outreach to, people with low socioeconomic status (SES).
• Intersection of deprivation and race/disability/homelessness.
• Overriding some of the impact of deprivation.
• New approaches to the workforce, eg moulded roles, combined roles.
• Working in partnership with other healthcare/social care/welfare/local government agencies to meet patient/carers needs.
• Supporting people with low socioeconomic status living in rural and remote areas.

Total available funding in this grant round is £300,000. It is expected that between eight and ten grants of up to £35,000 will be awarded to local hospices in this round.

The deadline to apply is 28 February 2023 at 5pm.
