About Us
Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives. Whether that’s a terminal illness, the loss of a loved one or a neurological condition – we’re there when it matters. Our doctors, nurses and carers give people the compassion and expert care they need to help them live the best life they possibly can.  We have ambitious plans to provide more care for more people.  But we can’t do this alone.  The government provides approximately one third of the funding we need and we are therefore increasingly reliant on voluntary donations and the support of our corporate partners.
