Hospices across the country are in crisis, and Mountbatten is no exception.
As NHS funding fails to keep pace with rising costs and increasing demand, the question becomes urgent: who will support families living with death, dying, and bereavement if we cannot?
Every day, Mountbatten Isle of Wight and Mountbatten Hampshire supports around 4,000 people across the Isle of Wight and large parts of Hampshire, providing expert, free end-of-life and palliative care to our communities. From rehabilitation to grief support, we are a lifeline during life’s most challenging moments.
But this lifeline is at risk. Without additional funding, we may have no choice but to cut back on the vital services that so many depend on.
What would life—and death—be like for thousands living with death, dying, and bereavement without hospices like Mountbatten?

Mountbatten Isle of Wight and Mountbatten Hampshire are separate charities working in partnership to provide 24/7 inpatient and community domiciliary and palliative end-of-life care services to people across the Isle of Wight, Southampton City, and large parts of Hampshire, including rehabilitation and enablement services and psychological and bereavement support to patients and their families.
Treating everyone with kindness and compassion and providing a safe and caring environment is at the heart of everything we do to support those living with a life-limiting illness and their loved ones.
We deliver 24/7 expert care and support to people experiencing death, dying, and bereavement, in their homes and our hospice buildings in Newport, Isle of Wight, and West End, Southampton. We give patients and their families choices about their care, providing the highest quality nursing, medical, and therapeutic care, and supporting their physical, social, and psychological needs.
We serve a population of approximately 790,000, supporting around 4,000 people every day across the areas we serve in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
Our services are free of charge to all who need us, thanks to the generosity of our amazing communities and our incredible volunteers who give their time to support the best possible care for local people living the last years of their lives.
