Trinity Hospice

Trinity Hospice

Trinity Hospice is the United Kingdom's oldest hospice, founded in 1890 by a member of the Hoare banking family. It is located beside Clapham Common, and is a leader in specialist palliative care.

William Hoare appealed for funds to provide a home “for the man who is neither curable nor incurable, but simply dying”. He gave £1,000 of the £2,000 needed to set up the Hostel of God, as Trinity was originally called. The remainder was raised by public subscription.

By 1894 Trinity had ten beds. Patients were cared for by the Order of St James’s Servants of the Poor, a teaching order of nuns. In 1896 the Order of St Margaret’s of East Grinstead, a nursing order, took over. In 1899 the hospice moved from The Chase to Clapham Common North Side.
