About The Hospice

Situated in Clydebank, St Margaret of Scotland Hospice has been a beacon of compassionate care for over 75 years. As Scotland's first and largest Hospice, we have grown from our humble beginnings in 1950 to become a leading provider of specialist palliative care, offering a comprehensive range of inpatient, outpatient, and community support services.

Today, we are on the cusp of an exciting new chapter as we near the completion of a transformative £5 million renovation and remodelling project. This ambitious undertaking will greatly enhance the care we provide in our St Joseph's Ward, creating a state-of-the-art facility that combines the latest medical advancements with a warm, welcoming environment.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to our mission of providing exceptional care and support to those facing life-limiting illnesses and their families. With the unwavering support of our community and the dedication of our incredible staff, we will continue to be a source of hope, compassion, and healing for generations to come.

Join us in making a difference in the lives of those we serve. Together, we can ensure that everyone in our care receives the love, respect, and dignity they deserve.
