We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Provide urgent funding to hospices during Covid-19
Provide hospices across England with emergency funding to cover loss of income as a result of lockdowns, to enable them to continue providing essential palliative and end of life care and allow them to relieve some pressure from the NHS.
More details
Hospices across England are losing money again, and during the second lockdown had to close charity shops that had only recently reopened. Households across the country are unable to donate as they could before the pandemic. As a result, hospices are having to make redundancies, and furlough staff, meaning they are unable to provide essential palliative care to the community. They urgently require emergency funding to ensure these essential services can continue, and prevent closures.
