Severn Hospice in Shropshire needs £10 million annually to operate, relying on income from 32 charity shops, a lottery, bequests, and various events. Despite initial financial struggles, including a £1.1 million deficit, the hospice has reduced this to £400,000 thanks to donations. The charity faces rising costs due to an anticipated National Insurance hike in 2025. Founded in 1989, the hospice now supports nearly 3,000 people annually, highlighting the importance of end-of-life care amid debates on assisted dying.
