Why pay for a day?

Did you know it costs £13,000 per day to provide our specialist end-of-life care for people in our community and to support their families and loved ones?

2024 is a leap year, and February has an extra day in the month. So, we are asking if you could be a Leap Year Legend for The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice and help us pay for an extra day of vital end-of-life care.

We are asking you, our local community, to get involved this February to fundraise, hold fun events, or even just make a small donation to hospice care

Why fundraise for hospice care?

As we all know too well, the rising cost of living crisis is hitting us all. As a charity, our costs are rapidly increasing every year, and it now costs more than £5million per year to fund our vital end-of-life services.

In addition to our rising costs, the number of people under our care is also increasing. At the moment, we support over 325 at any one time, in our Livingwell Hub, on our 16 bed Ward at the Hospice and our Community Team visiting local people at home. We care for 1,200 new patients and their families every year.

It’s never been more important to support Glasgow's Hospice.

Where will your donation go?

Thank you for being a Leap Year Legend! A huge thank you to everyone who is fundraising to help us pay for a day of end-of-life care.

Jean's Story

Hear from hospice patient 56-year-old Jean McCauley, who is living with the life-limiting illness Multiple Myeloma, a form of bone cancer. Jean says: “When I was referred to the hospice, I really didn’t know what to expect, as my emotions were all over the place. I'm happy to say that the hospice has been a lifeline to me. I attend the Living Well Hub once or twice a week. It's a wonderful place where you meet patients in similar situations to yourself. The hospice helps you to live with a life limiting illness in a much more positive way and I will always be grateful for their support.”

It costs more than £5million to operate the hospice, situated in Bellahouston Park in the south of the city. With only £2million being provided through statutory funding, the hospice must fundraise more than £3million each year in order to continue providing free care to 1200 new patients and their families.
