Together we support people and families across Forth Valley, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth living with serious illness to live well, die well and make every moment count. 

80% of patients are cared for out with the Hospice building, as is their wish.

Speak to our Team

1,380

 We provide specialist care and support to 1,380 people living with and dying from a serious, often incurable illness, making 8,479 patient visits across our local communities annually.

327

 We care for 327 patients with complex needs in our inpatient unit and 21% of patients were successfully discharged to go home.

£19,452

 We need to raise £19,452 every single day to keep our vital services running.

Why support us?

We want excellent palliative care and expertise to benefit as many people across our communities as possible.

There are 4,000 deaths in our local areas every year, and we have just 24 beds in our In Patient Unit. Last year our team carried out 8294 visits to people across our local communities, as we now support more patients at the very end of life through our community specialist teams than in the Hospice itself.

With only one third of our hospice funded by the Government, we are incredibly grateful to our generous supporters who make up the significant shortfall. Without these generous ongoing donations, we just could not continue delivering our valuable services free of charge.
Thank you.
