Hospices of Hope

Hospices of Hope is a UK charity dedicated to supporting the development of hospice and palliative care centers in Eastern Europe by providing technical expertise, training, funding and networking with partner countries.

In 1992, Mr. Graham Perrols, director of Hospices of Hope, brought the concept of hospice and palliative care to Romania and founded the first palliative care unit, Hospice Casa Speranței, in Braşov.
