Lottery grant for Butterwick Hospice | The Northern Echo

A HOSPICE has been able to increase its support for bereaved people thanks to Government funding delivered through the National Lottery.
Butterwick Hospice Care has experienced a sharp rise in demand for support for bereaved people during the coronavirus pandemic.
Now, the charity’s support services have been boosted by a £68,000 grant, provided by the Government’s Coronavirus Community Support Fund, and distributed by the National Lottery Community Fund.
The charity has used the money so its bereavement support services can be adapted to provide support remotely.
“We have seen an increase in requests for bereavement support, partly due to people having reduced levels of contact with friends and family, as a direct impact of lockdown restrictions,” said Dianne McKenzie, Butterwick’s Head of Family Support.
