Warm Spaces @ St Vincent's Hospice

Aim

St Vincent’s Hospice offers specialist care to those with life limiting illness, when people in Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire need it most

Who are we? What do we do?

St Vincent’s Hospice is a charitable organisation at the heart of the community, offering specialist care and services to all those affected by life limiting illness.

Serving the adjoining communities of Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire, the Hospice provides specialist palliative care, delivering compassionate care that makes a real, positive difference for families during some of the most difficult times.

Located in the rolling Renfrewshire countryside, St Vincent’s Hospice has been delivering care in the local area for 35 years. Our services include an 8-bed Inpatient Unit, Day Services, Family Support Teams and Community Nurse Specialist Services.

What Are We Crowdfunding For?

St Vincent's doesn't just look after patients; we support family members and carers too. Our Inpatient Unit allows close family members to stay with their loved ones during their time here, and we have dedicated staff who provide practical help and emotional support for those who need it. 

Our Day Services also provide help to patients, their families and carers. The Hospice serves as a hub for local people with longer-term, life limiting illness to access specialist support and to meet others with similar conditions and to share their experiences.

But the Cost-of-Living Crisis is beginning to have a real impact. Similar to the other Hospices across Scotland, our gas and electricity costs have dramatically increased, with our electricity bill almost trebling.

We're looking to raise £10,000 towards the staff and utilities costs of the Hospice.

We need your help in keeping the St Vincent's warm and accessible for anyone and everyone who needs us. These funds will be split towards covering our energy bills and the ongoing staffing costs of our amazing care team.
