Island Hospice and Bereavement Service (UK)

Island Hospice and Bereavement Service (UK) want to thank all its donors for their support over the years. In recent times the funding opportunities to support our grant making have changed with the impact of the Covid pandemic and the challenging economic climate that has seen less money available for charities. These factors have meant we have struggled to raise funds for our chosen partner in Zimbabwe – Island Hospice and Healthcare (Island) so the Trustees have reluctantly decided we can no longer fulfil our original remit and aspirations and that we should close.

Over the last year we have supported Island to develop TUMA International – a service for Zimbabweans living abroad to access support from Island for family members in Zimbabwe to include such as:

We believe that this service can not only provide vital assistance to those in need but also, over time, offer new sources of revenue to help replace the uncertain grant funding we have struggled to sustain.

Island provides excellent services which they continue to develop and innovate to help Zimbabweans in need through their centres in Bulawayo, Harare, Marondera and Mutare.

Information on these services and how you can continue to support Island can be obtained through the links below.
