Mrs Anne Therese Adams

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 vision

We see a future where our palliative and neurological care reaches more communities; where we can help more people begin to cope with bereavement; and where everyone can access the quality of care they deserve.

Our mission

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.

Our values

1. Supportive. We're here for people when it matters, and that includes each other. We encourage, inspire and help one another, and celebrate success.

2. Connected. When we work together, we can achieve so much more for the people we support. We respect that everyone at Sue Ryder plays a vital part in delivering quality care.

3. Impactful. We find new and inspiring ways to positively impact the people we support – from small gestures to big breakthroughs. This proactive attitude drives us forward to achieve our ambitions and transform lives.

We work to enable the very poor to build a pathway out of poverty, step by step.

Through projects which improve health and strengthen  livelihoods, we aim to unlock the personal and economic potential of the poorest communities, offering the opportunity to achieve a life free from poverty, with dignity and purpose.

As Christians, we are responding to Christ’s call to love and serve the poor. Our projects are available to the very poor in the communities where we work, regardless of race, faith, ethnicity or gender.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

This keeps our costs extremely low, ensuring your donation has maximum impact. All your donations, including any gift aid received, is sent overseas to fund our projects.

DIRECT LINK: Our close links with local partners means we can provide direct feedback to our UK donors on the progress of all our projects

LOCAL FIELD PARTNERS: We work through local field partners who are experts in their areas of work and are already closely involved with local communities. This ensures your donation is used as effectively as possible, and has maximum impact in changing lives for the better.
