Irish Hospice Foundation

We, the Irish Hospice Foundation, are a national charity dedicated to all matters relating to dying, death and bereavement in Ireland. We work to ensure that no-one will face death or bereavement without the care and support they need regardless of the place of death. For the past thirty years, we have been working in partnership with others to make excellence in bereavement care a national priority. We do this through many of our activities such as, awareness-raising, training and education, providing bereavement information and working collaboratively with many organisations, both state and voluntary, to enhance bereavement care provision in Ireland.

Please see our website for resources, which include ways to support yourself when you are grieving, ways to help others and our new Care and Inform hub (www.hospicefoundation.ie). The Irish Hospice Foundation , in partnership with the HSE, provide a national bereavement suppoprt line. The support line provides a first response to those affected by bereavement during the COVID-19 pandemic. This FREE support line operates from 10am to 1pm, Monday to Friday - 1800 80 70 77.
