The Challenges of Going Green – a Hospice Perspective
Time: 10:30 am - 10:55 am
Date: 09 Oct 2024
Hospice Care provision and getting the the balance between the finances, workforce and net carbon zero agenda right can prove challenging. Especially considering the additional pressure of being a charity (Overgate is only partially funded by the NHS). The Hospice is an anchor institution in the local area, as a charity we depend on our supporters to raise the £3m a year to keep our services running, As such we have an obligation to ensure we are committed to the social value agenda.
The Hospice estate is varied, consisting of the Hospice building, offices, 16 charity shops, a distribution centre and a new capital build for an extended in patient unit, which means the scope is vast. This means it can be difficult to know where to start, we are very lucky as one of our supporters is a leading green solutions provider and has undertaken a digital clipboard exercise to understand our current position and the scope we have for improvement. From this we have taken the quick-wins and now are working through those actions where the investment saves the Hospice money.
