Proud sponsors of the Hospice UK Digital Champion Award
We are proud to announce we will be supporting Hospice UK and their awards conference, celebrating the brilliant talent of the sector.
It is our great pleasure to be sponsoring the Digital Champion Award!
The award recognises the work of an individual who has passionately promoted the use of technology or digital ways of working in a hospice or palliative care organisation.
Entries were of a high standard and Matthew Riley will be presenting the award on Day 2 of their Annual Conference held in Glasgow this November.
About the award
This award celebrates individuals that have encouraged and supported others to use technology or digital tools and techniques to:
- Identify or better understand and/or solve a problem (or be progressing towards solving a problem).
- Improve quality or efficiency
- Reduce barriers and improve access
The technology or digital tools and techniques they have used don’t need to be cutting edge, but how they were used may be innovative for your organisation.
The essential role of hospices and the need for public support
Hospices provide vital care and support to children and adults living with long-term illnesses or approaching the end of their lives.
In 2022-23, hospices across the UK provided palliative and end of life care to 300,000 and provided direct support services to 60,000 family members, friends and carers.
It costs £1.6 billion each year to run the hospices in the UK.
Hospices raise over £1.1 billion of this through fundraising, and less than £0.5 billion comes from government funding.
Hospices do incredible work but they can’t do it without support. To find out about the different ways you could support Hospice UK you can find details on their website.
You can find more information on how we are working with hospices in our blogs:

Congratulations Aaron Salter: Hospice UK’s Digital Champion Award winner 2024
As a social enterprise dedicated to transforming healthcare through data analytics, we are thrilled to share the inspiring story of Aaron Salter, winner of the Digital Champion Award at the Hospice UK Conference 2024.
How can Here help hospices enhance their impact with data?
Our goal isn’t to outsource your data function; it’s to build a partnership where we work alongside you, helping your hospice maximise its impact through effective data use. We aim to empower your team to focus on what really matters: understanding your service outcomes and making informed decisions about where improvements can be made.
Why do we want to work with hospices?
When we work in partnership we seek likeminded organisations, and it is no surprise that we have started to find these in the hospice sector. We feel privileged to support the work of St Gemma’s Hospice and to share our learning in this new partnership.
