St Margaret of Scotland Hospice is based in Clydebank, on the outskirts of Glasgow. The Hospice was the first in Scotland and remains unique in our delivery of palliative and end of life care. Over a 75-year timeframe, the Hospice has served the localities of East and West Dunbartonshire and Northwest Glasgow. 

“The hospice provided much needed support for our family

during the darkest of hours” 

(Quote from the sister of a patient who died in the Hospice in late 2024)

The Hospice has touched the lives of thousands of patients and families with progressive, advancing life-limiting illness, and those with complex medical and nursing needs. 

All care and support is delivered free at the point of need and there is no specific limit to the length of time a patient and family may stay in the Hospice. Once referred to the Hospice for inpatient care, we remain on the journey until our compassionate support is no longer required.

Comfort, peace, tranquillity and serenity are at the heart of our story.  Our aim is to ensure those who require admission to Hospice take a sigh of relief when they come through our doors and into their sanctuary.  

To operate with ease, the Hospice Team must raise approximately £40,000 per week, and to achieve this goal, we are reliant upon generous donations, grants, and legacies.

Our ethos is simple – we are “Open to all those in need of care.”

We are deeply appreciative of every penny raised for the Hospice and would like to extend a thank you to all those in our community who walk beside us.
