Leading end-of-life care provider, Mountbatten Isle of Wight, is to lose around £600,000 in Autumn 2025 and £1.4 million in 2026/7, after disinvestment by the Integrated Care Board, which has ‘reallocated’ its funding.

Help reverse that decision. Fight what could mean cuts to much-used hospice services. Please sign the petition.

The Isle of Wight's hospice serves an increasingly older population, delivering a unique and expert end-of-life care model, 24/7, to people in their own homes, in Mountbatten Isle of Wight’s inpatient unit, and in the John Cheverton Centre, through day, outpatient and rehabilitation services.

 

World-renowned for putting hospice care at the centre of its community, Mountbatten Isle of Wight's model has been widely replicated across the UK.

 

Its innovative approach means its building is essentially owned by Islanders, and it is open to a growing number of people. Seven days a week, the building is used for community events, concerts, a community choir, cafe and other public events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of the money Mountbatten needs to operate, NHS commissioners provide around a third of the funding. Donations, fundraising, retail and gifts in wills bring in two thirds of Mountbatten Isle of Wight’s annual £10.5 million running costs.

Help stop the ICB ‘reallocating’ Mountbatten’s money to mainland hospices.

Thank you.
