Our impact in 2023-24

Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. Here, you can find out more about the difference our vital care and services have made over the past year.

Our specialist teams have been there when it matters, from caring for people at the end of their lives, to helping others to manage their grief. 

On this page we’ve gathered some key numbers which help demonstrate the impact we’re having in the areas of end-of-life care and bereavement support. As well as some real stories from the people we've helped.

End-of-life care

  • We delivered more than 672,500 hours of end-of-life care. 
  • We cared for more than 9,400 people in our hospices and in their homes.
  • 700 Sue Ryder Nurses and doctors provided expert care to people approaching the end of their lives. 
  • Over 62,800 face-to-face visits were made by our Hospice at Home and community teams, giving essential care to patients. 

They did everything they could to make us feel comfortable. The doctors and nurses there were just incredible.

Bereavement support

In the middle of the night when you can’t sleep, someone – a complete stranger – will be there to say, ‘It’s OK, I’ve been there.'
