As a membership organisation run by members for members, the Hospice Income Generation Network's purpose sits comfortably alongside the values of those who steer its direction - hospice fundraisers, retail and communciation professionals. Everything we do is driven by our ultimate objective, to provide first class, compassionate end of life care to families whenever, wherever and however is best for them.
The third sector community as a whole shares a spirit of generosity but none so keen as that of hospice income generators. We’re a tight knit group eager to share our experiences, lend our support and take ourselves and our peers from good to great.
The Hospice Income Generation Network has grown to be recognised as one of the UK’s most relevant income generation membership organisations. As such, we strive to maintain and improve the professional standards of fundraising, retail and communications, placing hospice professionals at the forefront of the sector.
The hospice community is a pool of talented professionals with an appetite for being the best they can be. Through our commitment to supporting their development through education and training, they can be their best for their hospice.
Reflecting the diversity of our membership, our meetings take place in seven different regions across the UK giving easy access to all hospice income generation teams. The meetings belong to our members – we’re driven by their needs in terms of knowledge and training. Above all, the meetings are a forum in which to share, learn and support.
Every year members also benefit from the opportunity to immerse themselves in two days of learning and development from the very best high profile third sector professionals and hospice colleagues. The annual conference is a key event in the hospice calendar.
We’ve come a long way over the last few years yet we’re not complacent. We’re consistently enhancing how we work and the value we give to our members – and ultimately the hospice community. With one eye on the present we’re also aspirational with ambitious plans for the future.
