St Richard’s Hospice
Our Story
St Richard’s Hospice
St Richard’s Hospice cares for adults with an illness that cannot be cured, improving their quality of life from diagnosis, during treatment to their last days and supporting those closest to them.
Each year the hospice team supports more than 3,000 patients, family members and bereaved people in Worcestershire.
It costs around £12m to run the hospice (23/24 audited accounts), which includes patient care and all the necessary support services.
St Richard’s is an independent charity and relies on donations and gifts in Wills for the majority of its income with the remainder funded by the NHS.

We’ve delivered three Wild in Art trails.
The charity has delivered three previous, hugely popular Wild in Art trails; Worcester Stands Tall in 2018, Worcester’s Big Parade in 2021, and the Waddle of Worcester, in summer 2024.
Combined the trails have raised more than £1.2million for the care of patients and families, whilst bringing immense joy to many. We’re excited to bring Peter Rabbit to the Warrens of Worcester in the summer of 2027.

The Auction
After the summer in 2027 our wonderful fluffle of Peter Rabbit sculptures will take centre stage at an auction to raise money for St Richard’s Hospice. All thirty-five large Peter Rabbit sculptures and one little bunny will go under the hammer, whilst the remaining bunnies will return to the schools and community groups who decorated them, as a lasting legacy to Peter Rabbit™ in the warrens of Worcester.
