We've just been listening to the Care Minister, @skinnock.bsky.social, at the @hospiceuk.bsky.social Conference talking about the integral role the palliative and end-of-life care sector plays in delivering high-quality personalised care for everyone, following yesterday's announcement.

Today, Care Minister Stephen Kinnock has announced plans for a new framework for palliative and end-of-life care. The plans will look to provide more consistent high quality care, closer to home and with better out-of-hours support. Read our Chief Executive @jamescsanderson.bsky.social comment:

A lovely way to upcycle this necklace into something meaningful 💙

Where’s the Terminally Ill Adults Bill? It’s at committee stage in the House of Lords. Assisted dying is still illegal in the UK, and even if the Bill passes, it’s unlikely to become law before 2027. We’re making sure palliative care stays central.

It’s Carer’s Rights Day and this year’s theme is ‘Know your rights, use your rights’. If you are caring for someone at the end-of-life, you can find out more about your rights, and accessing support at: sueryder.org/end-of-life-care/supporting-someone-near-the-end-of-their-life/support-for-carers/

Today’s Men’s Health Strategy rightly recognises the impact of bereavement on men’s loneliness. Our research found many men felt like the “odd one out” for seeking support, pressured by the idea they should just be “brave”. We need to make it OK for men to reach out.

We were pleased to attend the launch of #AskMe, the latest campaign from our partner @winstonswish.bsky.social , to make nurseries, schools, colleges and universities are places where grieving students feel seen, understood and supported.

The annual Beef and Beer Dinner has a fantastic sum that will help us be there when it matters for the people we care for 💙 If your organisation would like to get involved in fundraising for us, find out how at www.sueryder.org/get-involved...

We’ve received the final instalment of a three-year grant from The Julia Rausing Trust, bringing total support to £1,050,000. This funding helps us provide expert palliative and end-of-life care when it’s needed most. Thank you to The Julia Rausing Trust 💙

Today the House of Lords starts to examine the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill line-by-line. We'll be following the debate closely and engaging with members of the House of Lords to make sure access to good palliative care stays at the heart of the conversation.

As the Terminally Ill Adults Bill moves through its committee stage in the House of Lords, these conversations are more important than ever. Good palliative care should never be overlooked. Learn more about the Bill here: sueryder.org/blog/assisted-dying-your-questions-answered

Very impressed by letter in @theguardian.com from @jamescsanderson.bsky.social. We can’t talk about hospices without talking about inequalities in access to hospice care in less affluent areas and communities. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Thank you to Jim Shannon MP for holding a debate on palliative care in Parliament today and speaking about our vision for a new ecosystem for palliative and end-of-life care. Read more about our plans on our website: www.sueryder.org/our-campaign...

Great to hear @hospiceuk.bsky.social CEO Toby Porter speaking to the House of Lords committee on the importance of improving palliative care ahead of any introduction of assisted dying. It's so important that terminally ill people have access to the right care and genuine choice at the end of life.

Hospice care in the UK is at a crossroads. @jamescsanderson.bsky.social, CEO of Sue Ryder, responds to the NAO report on palliative care. Reform is essential.

Great to be at @conservatives.bsky.social Party Conference this week! We spoke with MPs, including Dr Luke Evans about the urgent need for better palliative & end-of-life care.

It’s been a busy few days at @LabourParty Conference Our Influencing team spoke with MPs, charities & people with lived experience about the future of palliative & end-of-life care. Powerful conversations, real connections - now we need action from Government.

As the House of Lords enters the second debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, the nation turns its attention to a deeply personal question: how do we support people to die well? Our CEO @jamescsanderson.bsky.social, shares thoughts: sueryder.org/bill

Today, the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is being debated in the House of Lords. This is part of the Bill's process through the Lords over the next few months, where they will review the Bill and suggest possible amendments. 1/2

Thank you @paulettehamiltonmp.bsky.social for raising palliative care at yesterday's Health and Social Care Committee in Parliament. We agree with Wes Streeting MP, palliative care should be "giving people real choice on the care they receive, when they receive it and where they receive it".

We are so proud of every single one 💙
