“We are not immune to cost of living increases and [it] has led to a really challenging fundraising environment,” Jon Antoniazzi, the charity’s associate director of policy and public affairs for Wales, told Radio Wales Breakfast.

“People are feeling like they can’t give as they could in the past.

“We’ve been under the most extreme financial pressure you can imagine.”

Hospice UK, the national charity for hospice and end of life care, provides essential care and support for 20,000 children and adults in Wales affected by terminal and life-limiting illness each year.

Marie Curie provided care to almost 3,000 people across Wales in its Cardiff and Vale Hospice in Penarth and in their own homes in 2022/2023.
