Standing together: St Michael’s Hospice supports St Richard’s Hospice through challenging times

St Michael’s Hospice expresses solidarity with St Richard’s Hospice amid difficult redundancy announcement

All of us here at St Michael’s Hospice would like to extend our heartfelt support to our colleagues at St Richard’s Hospice in Worcester following their announcement regarding staff redundancies due to financial challenges.

Hospices across the UK face ongoing financial pressures that have only been exacerbated by recent economic difficulties. At Michael’s Hospice, we recognise the profound impact these circumstances have on both staff and the families they serve. It is with great sadness that we see our friends and dedicated professionals at St Richard’s facing such difficult decisions.

St Richard’s has long been a respected partner in providing compassionate, high-quality care to patients and families, and their contributions to hospice care in the Worcester region are invaluable. At this challenging time, we stand beside their team and express our support and gratitude for their continued commitment to serving their community.

We remain hopeful that by coming together as a hospice community, we can navigate these uncertain times and advocate for the vital support our sector needs to sustain the high level of care our patients and their families deserve.
