Hospices in Lincolnshire will share more than £780,000 in new funding aimed at improving facilities and services for people receiving end‑of‑life care.
St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice in Lincoln has been allocated £709,550, while Butterfly Hospice in Boston will receive £36,645. Beaumond House Hospice Care in Newark, which also serves parts of Lincolnshire, has been awarded £98,556.
The investment is part of a national £75 million programme for the 2025/26 financial year, supporting 170 hospices across England. The funding will go towards refurbishments and upgrades that focus on creating more comfortable spaces for patients and their families, including private rooms, communal areas and landscaped outdoor spaces.
Hospices will also use the funding for improvements such as energy‑efficient facilities, adapted beds, and digital systems that allow smoother coordination with other health services. The upgrades are designed to make end‑of‑life care more personal and accessible in local communities, reducing reliance on hospital settings.
Hospice UK will manage the distribution of the funds, with organisations able to draw from their allocated share as work is completed.
