For #ScottishCareersWeek, we are highlighting how the third sector can be a fulfilling career path, offering meaningful ways to support others and make a difference. Jade’s journey began with YPI, where she learnt about the profound impact hospice services have on families.…

Big thank you to @HMcArdleHT for spotlighting the financial crisis Scottish Hospices are facing. It’s time for fair funding and recognition of the importance of our care to terminally ill patients and their families across Scotland.

Every donation is a mystery waiting to be unearthed – and these humble stores have seen it all… 🤯 For this year's #HospiceCareWeek, we're focusing on hospices' retail, and celebrating the incredible contributions of the people who run them. hospiceuk.org/latest-from-ho…

Today is an important day for the UK’s hospices 🧡 Our film highlights how hospices’ shops raise vital funds for hospice care – and the injustice that more is now spent in them than is received in government funding. 👉 Please help share this post. Thank you. #HospiceCareWeek

Hospices in the UK continue to struggle due to funding. Our full support goes out to the teams of those hospices impacted by cuts to services. We must stand together to ensure every person has access to the compassionate care they deserve. #HealthcareForAll

This is the sixth hospice to make an announcement of service cuts in recent months. This hospice funding crisis needs to end. @StCHospice said the decision was "heartbreaking". The government must step up to ensure high quality end of life care for all. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…



Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to postpone the Time to Remember event which was due to take place on Friday 30th August. We will rearrange the event in the near future, so do keep an eye on our event page and social media channel for more information coming soon!

Our internet services and phonelines are now back online!


We are currently experiencing an internet outage which has affected our phone lines. We are working with our suppliers to fix the problem as quickly as possible. Apologies for any inconvenience, we will share again as soon as we are back online!


We have been advised that the sinkhole on Granton Road may take up to 4 weeks to repair, so the road will remain closed between Boswall Green and Afton Road until further notice. The Hospice is unaffected and open as normal, but visitors should avoid Granton Road when travelling.
