Wolfson Foundation Hospice Care Home Training Programme
Funding to encourage greater collaboration and interchange of ideas amongst staff in hospices and care homes.
Hospice UK and Wolfson Foundation are working in partnership to deliver a grants programme that aims to:
- Encourage increased collaboration, sharing of knowledge and good practice across hospice and care home.
- Address unmet education and training needs cost effectively within hospices’ immediate region.
- Have a direct impact on patient care for those with a diagnosis of dementia who have palliative care needs.
Funding of up to £2,000 is available to hospices registered in the UK. The programme will contribute towards the cost of courses and study days, focused specifically on dementia care, run by a hospice (or group of hospices) for local care homes.
Hospices are eligible for a maximum of two grants per year. A grant may be for a series of events, eg a series of workshops on dementia and palliative care in care homes.
Applications must be submitted at least one month before the proposed start date for activities to ensure sufficient time for assessment.
The fund is open to applications on a rolling basis.
