Rennie Grove Hospice Care in Bucks and Peace Hospice Care in Herts have confirmed that the proposed merger announced in June will be going ahead next month, as planned.
The new organisation will be called Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care.
The driving force behind the merger is to increase both reach and scope of services - catering to combined catchment area of over 1 million local people.
Stewart Marks, Chief Executive of Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care said:
“I am delighted with the sheer amount of hard work that has been happening behind the scenes across all departments to combine the two successful charities and achieve our vision of growth in our new bigger catchment area. We have already identified key growth areas to focus on to serve and support more people, reach all sections of the community and strengthen our resources to ensure every local person receives the care they need, when they need it, whoever they are.
“We are currently liaising with the Charity Commission for their final approval, and the newly appointed Executive Board will be leading our merger integration plans with their combined teams from 1st October.”
Services offered by both charities for people facing life-threatening illnesses, and those who care for them, will continue, with the merger goal to extend reach and deliver better outcomes from current combined resources, as well as working together on future development and expansion.
