    Charity changes name to become Birmingham Hospice

    By Birmingham Eastside on March 9, 2023 Charity, Health, News

    A new name in hospice care for north Birmingham has launched as part of a merger between two facilities.

    Birmingham Hospice brings together the services from Erdington-based John Taylor Hospice and Selly Park’s Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice.

    The two hospices merged in August 2021 to form one single registered charity – The Hospice Charity Partnership – in a bid to provide even more people across the city with end of life and palliative care.

    The decision has now been made to become the Birmingham Hospice.

    Chair of trustees Dawn Ward CBE DL said: “We’re delighted to share another exciting step forward in our mission to enable more people from all communities to access the care of their choice at the end of life. 

    “We’re incredibly proud of the 157 years of heritage Birmingham St Mary’s and John Taylor Hospices have shared, and what we have achieved since merging in 2021, and we are still retaining our history with our new logo and colours.”

    The hospice’s two sites are home to two inpatient units, two Living Well Centres, a dedicated bereavement and wellbeing service, including a children’s bereavement support service.

    Care is also provided for people in their own homes as well as out in the community. 

    Simon Fuller, CEO, said the expert services and compassionate care provided across Birmingham will continue to grow and develop – ensuring people across the city can access specialist end of life care, free of charge when they need it.

    “We remain exactly the same charity, with the same passionate people, providing the same care and support services,” he said.

    “This new name represents the same outstanding care we have been providing for decades, but with a fresh look that we hope will guide our charity into further success for another 150 years and more. 

    “An estimated 100,000 people in the UK who could benefit from palliative care, die without receiving it each year. Demand for this expert care continues to rise as people live longer and with increasingly complex needs.  

    “We’ve rebranded as a promise to our local communities to grow and reach more people who need us to offer them the care of their choice at the end of life.”
