Compassionate community storytelling,
for the digital age.
The National Issue
Hospice care is the single most important topic no one is talking about.
24% of people across the UK have not heard of palliative care.
We empower the voices of the palliative care community through compelling digital storytelling.
HOSPICE
The world’s first photojournalism project for palliative care.
In collaboration with British Journal of Photography Award winner James Clifford Kent and BAFTA nominee Amy Newstead, Music in Hospices commissioned the world’s first photojournalism project for palliative care. For seven days, we captured portraits, short films and stories from Community Hospice, Greenwich to empower the voices of the hospice community and rehumanise the word ‘Hospice’.
Short Films

These 90 second short films, follow a member of the Music in Hospices community. Whether a musician, chaplain, gardener, patient, nurse or family member: we learn what hospice care means to them and why its something we should all care about.

We hear from DECCA artist, Classic FM’s 30 Under 30 and former Royal Harpist, Alis Huws to discover what Music in Hospices means to her and the meaningful moments she’s experienced during in-patient sessions.
Coffee Chats
Talking about palliative care should be as easy as grabbing a coffee.
