Help us build new foundations to care for the people of Lanarkshire by raising £9 million to refurbish and extend St Andrews Hospice Why
Our Capital Appeal aims to raise £9million to reconfigure and refurbish our Hospice to make it fit for the future by 2019. The upgraded building will enable us to increase the number of single bedded rooms than we have at present, which will allow us to ensure more privacy for patients and their loved ones. This also helps us to comply with the current space standards for healthcare facilities. Significant changes in how hospice care is delivered is also a key factor in why this major refurbishment is required to ensure we can continue to provide safe and quality care for the next 30 years The equipment and facilities needed to deliver modern hospice care have considerably improved since we opened in 1986 and take up much more space. Refurbishing the Hospice will allow us to stay in our current home, continue to care for the patients of North and South Lanarkshire and make our Hospice fit for the future.
