Formerly called
Hospice of Hope Romania Limited

Hospices of Hope is a UK-registered charity (registered number 1088475, Scottish charity number SC040117)[5] founded in 1991[6] that develops and supports palliative and end-of-life care services across South and Eastern Europe.[7] The organization operates from its headquarters at 11 High Street, Otford, Kent,[8] with additional offices in Edinburgh[9] and a branch in Moldova.[10] Originally established as part of the Ellenor Foundation's international outreach, Hospices of Hope became an independent charity in 2000 while maintaining close historical ties to its parent organization.[11]

History

East Hill Drive, Dartford – the very street where Graham Perolls launched the Ellenor Foundation in 1985.

The roots of Hospices of Hope trace back to 1985 when Graham Perolls founded the Ellenor Foundation in Dartford, Kent, inspired by the deaths of his parents Ellen and Norman Perolls.[12] The foundation was established with a vision that those facing end-of-life should receive the best possible care, either at home or as close to it as possible. Graham Perolls was motivated to start the organization after experiencing the contrasting care his parents received - one died at home while the other received care in a hospice. The international dimension began in 1991 when Graham Perolls launched a UK fundraising appeal to bring palliative care to post-communist Romania under the umbrella of the Ellenor Foundation.[13] This initiative was sparked by his earlier travels to Romania in 1975 and subsequent return in 1989 following the Romanian revolution,[14] where he witnessed the dire state of healthcare for terminally ill patients. The Romanian healthcare system at the time offered little support to those diagnosed with incurable diseases, with patients typically being "sent home to die" without adequate pain management or palliative care.[15]

Transition to independence

The Romanian operations evolved rapidly throughout the 1990s, leading to the establishment of Hospices of Hope as a separate organization in 2000 with its own governance structure and identity.[16] This transition allowed the charity to focus specifically on developing palliative care across Eastern and Southeastern Europe while Ellenor (charity number 1121561)[17] continued as an independent local hospice charity serving Kent and Bexley. Despite becoming separate entities, both organizations maintain historical connections and shared values centered on providing compassionate end-of-life care.

Organisational structure and governance

Hospices of Hope is governed by a Board of Trustees comprising 11 members as of 2026. The current leadership includes:

  • Denis Keefe CMG - Chair of Trustees.[18]
  • Sioned Evans - Vice Chair [18]
  • Peter Russell - Trustee[19]
  • Simone Ingram - Trustee[19]
  • Yapincak Erkan - Trustee[19]
  • Rick Woodward - Trustee[19]
  • Alex Blomfield - Trustee[19]
  • David Grace - Trustee[19]
  • David Goldsborough - Trustee[19]
  • Andreea Petreanu - Trustee[19]
  • Richard Macintyre - Trustee[19]

The Board meets typically four times per year for two-hour sessions held in central London, with additional strategic planning and development sessions as needed. Trustees are appointed for three-year terms, renewable up to two times, and are expected to maintain high levels of engagement with the charity's work.[20]

Operational structure

The charity operates through a hub-and-spoke model with its UK headquarters coordinating support for partner organizations across multiple countries. The organizational structure includes:

  • UK Operations: Headquarters in Otford, Kent, and office in Edinburgh.[21]
  • Country Partners: Independent hospice organizations in Romania and Serbia with formal memorandums of understanding.
  • Branch Operations: Direct presence in Moldova through Hospices of Hope Moldova.[22]
  • Trading Company: Operates a network of charity shops across South East England and Scotland.[23]

Geographic coverage and partners

Romania

Romania represents Hospices of Hope's longest-standing and most developed partnership network. The country hosts two major partner organizations: Hospice Casa Sperantei is the largest and most established partner, founded in 1992 in Brasov as the first Romanian charity dedicated to improving terminal illness care. The organization has grown to become the leading palliative care provider in Romania, operating multiple facilities:[24]

  • Brasov Campus: The original site featuring inpatient units, the Princess Diana Centre for Palliative Medicine (opened 1997), and day care facilities.[25]
  • Bucharest Centre: Opened in 2021 after five years of development, requiring an investment of over €5.7 million from donations. This facility is the first and only integrated palliative medicine unit in Bucharest, designed to serve 2,000 patients annually.[26]
  • Adunatii Copaceni: A specialised centre for children and families affected by life-limiting conditions, completed in 2018 and fully operational by 2021.[27]
  • Mobile Teams: Services in Fagaras and Zarnesti serve rural populations in Brasov County.[28]

To date, Hospice Casa Sperantei has provided care and support to over 45,000 patients and more than 100,000 family members.[29] The organization also serves as a major training center, with the Princess Diana Centre providing residential education programs for healthcare professionals across Eastern Europe.[30] Emanuel Hospice, based in Oradea in northwestern Romania,[31] serves as the only provider of palliative home-care services in the region. Since 1996, the organization has supported over 3,171 adults and 288 children with life-limiting illnesses. The hospice team offers teaching programs and vocational training, having trained over 250 doctors and nurses in palliative care.[27] In 2022, Emanuel Hospice received the Diploma of Excellence for "Team of the Year" at the Romanian Healthcare Awards.[32]

Serbia

BELhospice in Belgrade serves as Hospices of Hope's primary partner in Serbia, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024.[33] The organization continues to provide palliative home care services but faces significant challenges with staff recruitment, particularly for nursing positions, and managing long-term sickness issues within the Serbian healthcare system. Despite these challenges, BELhospice has completed and opened the first palliative care center in Serbia, fully equipped for day care, outpatient services, home care, and training.[34]

Moldova

Hospices of Hope began working in the Republic of Moldova in 2008, and in 2017 launched the first National Network of Palliative Care services in the country. It annually provides over 20,000 home care visits to patients in need of vital care. Currently, there are 4 palliative care teams offering free of charge services to beneficiaries living with life-limiting illnesses. In 2022 the first specialist Day Care Centre was launched in Orhei, and declared as a role model by the Minister of Health. The services provided by Hospices of Hope Moldova include access to specialist medicines and medical equipment, they offer continuous support from the central office in order to support patients in Orhei, Soroca, Balti and Chisinau which are located in the North, South and central parts of the country.[35]

Albania

Hospices of Hope is partnered with Ryder Albania who started work in Tirana in 1993 with the support of Sue Ruder Charity in the UK. They provide compassionate end-of-life care in Tirana and Durrës. Ryder Albania’s multidisciplinary teams offer home care services in both cities. The teams provide free medical care, psychological counselling and assistance with social service issues to patients and their families. Since 2018, Hospices of Hope together with Ryder Albania has made a major contribution towards the development of palliative care in Albania with the help of international funding, Hospices of Hope grants and local fundraising.[36]

Greece

Hospices of Hope has established partnerships with two organisations in Athens, Greece: Merimna, the only children's care organisation in Greece. And Nosilia, who specialise in adult care. Hospices of Hope provides strategic guidance and has helped Nosilia to break ground on the first palliative care day centre in Athens. Merimna was established in 1995, originally to provide bereavement counselling for children affected by the death of a parent. In 2010, they launched the first palliative home-care service in Athens and in 2013, they extended their bereavement service to Thessaloniki.[37]

Ukraine

In August 2O22, Hospices of Hope signed a formal partnership with the St Panteleymon Charity Fund, which supports hospices in Western Ukraine to offer our help and support. in 2024 Hospices of Hope partnered with CF SVOYI, which provides mobile team services helping patients in Kyiv and surrounding regions.[38] Ukraine's hospice sector has been severely impacted by the ongoing conflict, with only 5 of the original 19 independent hospices remaining operational.[39] Traditional government funding for medical staff and essential costs has been gradually reduced, with the Ministry of Health announcing a 22% funding cut in 2023.[40] In March 2025, Hospices of Hope supported the opening of a new clinic in Kyiv, which serves as an out-patient clinic, day centre, and base for an expanded home-care team.[41]

Controversies and challenges

2017 homeless ban controversy

In December 2017, Hospices of Hope faced significant criticism for posting signs at their Rochester charity shop banning homeless people from sleeping in the shop's porch area. The sign read: "Sleeping in the area is not permitted. Police action will be taken against anyone using the area for sleeping, leaving rubbish or any other waste". Local resident Steve Povey criticized the policy on social media, stating: "Charity shop, but no charity for the homeless it seems". The controversy highlighted tensions between the charity's humanitarian mission in Eastern Europe and its local community policies. Carolyn Perolls, defending the decision, cited staff safety and hygiene concerns: "It might seem harsh but having to clean human faeces on a daily basis is also harsh on our staff. We're very supportive of the plight of homeless people but it's not fair on our staff to have to clean up that type of thing every day". She emphasized that the policy was implemented to protect staff rather than from lack of compassion, noting that staff time spent on cleaning and police calls detracted from processing donations and serving the community.[67]

2020 vandalism attacks

Between June and July 2020, Hospices of Hope became the target of a coordinated series of vandalism attacks affecting multiple charity shop locations. The attacks resulted in approximately £30,000 in repair costs[68] and affected stores across several regions:

Affected Locations:

Inspector Dave Higham of the Tunbridge Wells Community Safety Unit investigated the incidents, stating: "These offences have cost the charity around £30,000 to repair. We are keeping an open mind as to whether all of these incidents are linked and the possible motive". Kent Police encouraged local businesses to review CCTV systems to assist with the investigation, particularly those that had been closed during COVID-19 restrictions.[74]

Strategic partnerships and networks

UK sector engagement
