Myself and 28 other wonderful ladies are hiking Ben Nevis on the 24th of August for StAndrews Hospice. We are hoping to reach for the sky to help this wonderful charity organisation that does amazing work day in day out for families and healthcare professionals all over Lanarkshire.

I have had the pleasure of using their facilities in a professional capacity and this has helped me immensely years on in my job.

I have also had family being treated with the utmost dignity and respect during terminal illness and cannot fault the care they were given or us as visitors.

St. Andrew’s Hospice endeavours to provide a high standard of specialist palliative care to the people of Lanarkshire, encompassing human dignity and compassion. As Lanarkshire's only specialist palliative care hospice, we provide multidisciplinary support for our patients, their families and carers. Whilst we receive funding from NHS Lanarkshire and other sources, this only partially covers our running costs. Continued provision of these services is only made possible by the generosity and assistance of the people of Lanarkshire.
