We are proud to announce that our 2026 Charity of the Year is LOROS Hospice, a local charity providing vital care across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
LOROS supports around 2,500 people every year, delivering free, high-quality, compassionate care to terminally ill patients, as well as vital support for their families and carers. Their specialist services are tailored to each individual, ensuring dignity, comfort and care when it matters most.
LOROS provides care for adults aged 18 and over with complex needs when a cure is no longer possible. Their services include:
- Short-stay inpatient care for symptom management (with an average stay of around two weeks).
- Care in the last days of life.
- Advice and support for patients and families in their own homes.
- Palliative day therapy.
The support of charities like LOROS is more important than ever. LOROS needs to raise over £9 million in voluntary income each year to continue providing these essential services to patients, families and carers in our community.
By choosing LOROS as our Charity of the Year, we aim to help them continue their vital work and make a meaningful difference to those who need their care across Leicestershire and Rutland.
Together, let’s help support LOROS and the incredible work they do.
