What we do
Trinity provides skilled, compassionate end of life care to individuals and support for families in our central and south west London community.
Many of our patients will have cancer but others will have long term conditions such as heart failure, lung or neurological conditions including motor neurone disease or multiple sclerosis. It’s the needs of the patient and their family that matter to us, not the diagnosis.
Sometimes people think that by ‘end of life’ we mean the last few weeks of a person’s life. This simply isn’t the case – we encourage early referrals so that we can get to know our patients as individuals and help them to live life to the full for whatever time is left – that might be a year or more, months or weeks.
Our services include nursing and medical care, emotional and practical support, welfare advice, occupational and physiotherapy, complementary therapies, spiritual care and creative activities. We care for people in their own homes and through non-residential and inpatient services in modern, welcoming facilities at our Clapham centre.
So that more people in our community have a better end of life experience, we share our specialist skills through education and support for other care providers, such as GPs, district nurses, hospitals and care homes.
Our patient and family services are free but we receive just 36% of our income from the NHS. This means we rely on the support of our local community to raise more than £6 million each year.

Care at home – helps people to stay in their own homes, if that is their wish, by building confidence and reducing anxiety through emotional and practical support and coordination of all the services involved in an individual’s care.
Day services – help improve the wellbeing of patients, families and carers through a wide range of services at Mulberry Place.
Inpatient care – in our purpose-built, 24-bed centre – specialist nursing care to get difficult symptoms under control before returning home, rehabilitation, respite, and care when an illness is advanced.
