Since 1953, the charity has played a role in influencing national and international policy debates and stimulating the evolution of care services in developing countries.

In November 2013, its shops and online store were said to generate over £36m a year for the charity's work.

The charity has the largest range of volunteering roles listed on its website in the third sector - over 400 - and also offers bespoke opportunities, matching individual skills and interests to roles.

The charity is headquartered at Upper Woburn Place in London and is a Registered Charity in England & Wales. It dropped the word "Care" from its operating name in April 2011 after a public consultation suggested that it sounded unclear, corporate and distant.
Workfare controversy
In February 2013 Sue Ryder was criticised for taking part in the UK Government workfare schemes. This criticism came in light of a broader backlash against the Government's workfare policies where people living on benefits, including the unemployed and sick and disabled people, are instructed to attend unpaid work at various companies and charities, at the risk of losing their benefits if they do not comply.
Sue Ryder promised a "phased withdrawal" from the controversial scheme.
Sue Ryder executives were also criticised for looking to profit from the privatisation of NHS services.
