Your Finest Hour for Hospice
Together For Hospice represents 24 hospices nationwide, and this April we’re asking employers to bring the whole office together to participate in Your Finest Hour for Hospice to raise funds for your local hospice.
The concept is simple, employers are asked to give an hour of time* to employees, on a date of their choosing throughout the month of April 2025. In exchange, employees are asked to donate an hour of their salary to hospice.
Your company’s event can be as simple as you like, the most important thing is that employees are treated to something special by their employer in exchange for donating an hour of their salary to hospice. The hour a company gives to employees could look like gathering everyone for a pizza on their lunch break, or an hour of yoga – the choice is yours!
Hospices nationwide need to raise approximately €20million each year, with existing voluntary hospices receiving differing levels of state funding ranging from 58% state funded up to 90%. Some homecare services receive no state funding. Despite this, in 2023 alone, hospices nationwide cared for over 14,000 patients and made over 87,000 homecare visits.
By donating just 1 hour of your time this April, you will be giving the gift of compassion, kindness and dignity to those that need it most at a time they need it most.
