The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice, located beside the River Clyde in Glasgow City Centre, provides specialist palliative care for people with life-limiting illnesses, usually cancer, and support for their families and carers.
The Hospice operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and employs around 110 full-and part-time staff. This includes doctors, registered nurses, nursing auxiliaries, a physiotherapist and a chaplain as well as social workers, all directly involved in the care of patients and their families.
The Hospice began life as the New Glasgow Hospice Trust in the early 1980s. Acquiring their Royal name on becoming a wedding gift to The Prince & Princess of Wales. By 1983 they found a home in a derelict terrace in Carlton Place. From that foothold, the hospice has built a centre of excellence in the heart of Glasgow.

The actual cost of Hospice care is some £3 million each year and, despite generous support from NHS Greater Glasgow, two out of every three pounds comes from voluntary contributions and fundraising activities.
All Hospice services are free, regardless of our patients' circumstances. As a registered charity, we rely on the generosity of our supporters for more than two-thirds of our funding.
