About
This year, World Hospice and Palliative Care Day (WHPCD) 2023 will be on the 14th of October. This year’s theme is Compassionate Communities: Together for Palliative Care. WHPCD is an annual unified day of action to celebrate and support hospice and palliative care around the world.
As part of our efforts to celebrate and support hospice and palliative care around the world, we are organising our annual fundraising event: Meaningful Miles, where individuals or teams are encouraged to fundraise while carrying out the pledged distance of their chosen activity:
