Support for Hospices
The MCF has a long-standing, £600,000 per year partnership with Hospice UK, working in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, which has two main components:
ANNUAL GRANT PROGRAMME
An annual grant programme on a specific theme each year which provides one-off project grants to hospices. This is administered by Hospice UK and you can read more about this programme here: https://www.hospiceuk.org/innovation-hub/support-for-your-role/grants/masonic-charitable-foundation-hospice-grants

MCF BURSARY SCHEME
The MCF bursary scheme is designed to tackle the problem of staff retention in the Hospice sector and provides bursaries to support hospice staff with education and training opportunities. Bursaries of up to £1,700 are available to eligible individuals whose hospices are members of Hospice UK.
