What impact will this have?

  • Royal Trinity Hospice provides skilled, compassionate care and support to people with progressive, life-limiting illnesses and those close to them.
  • We support people living in our London community, at home and at the hospice. At any moment, Trinity is caring for 700 patients.
  • All our services are provided free of charge to patients and their families. We receive only a quarter of our funding from the NHS and rely on donations and the income from our 19 shops to raise the remaining £10.5 million every year that is needed for our services to continue.
