Last year Trinity Hospice gave specialist end of life care to more than 2,000 people with illnesses such as cancer, cardiac, respiratory, renal and neurological diseases. We cared for 1,750 people in their own homes and more than 400 people in our Inpatient Centre – we supported their families and friends too.

Detailed information about our services for patients and families, which are all provided free of charge, can be found in Supporting you.

Trinity is registered charity and we receive just 36% of our income from the NHS. This means that we must raise more than £5 million each year to continue providing the specialist care our community relies on. Information about ways to support Trinity can be found in Support us.

Trinity provides the only dedicated end of life care service for 750,000 people living in our central and south west London community – each year 10,000 of these people will find out that they have a life-threatening illness.

Our future priority is to expand our community care services so that more people are able to die in their own homes, which is where most people would prefer to be.

Trinity was founded in 1891 as England’s first hospice – we continue this pioneering tradition today as an innovative and influential centre of excellence for end of life care.
