Primary sources date April 2009 Trinity Hospice is the United Kingdom s oldest Hospice care hospice , founded in 1891 by a member of the Richard Hoare Hoare banking family . It is located in Clapham Common , London and provides specialist palliative care . Every year Trinity Hospice provides its specialist services free of charge for those who need them in its community of over 750,000 people from central and south west London. William Hoare created the Hospice when he 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 Society of Saint Margaret 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. By 1933 Trinity had 55 spaces in the Hospice and was constantly caring for those in need. The much needed service continued to grow with the opening of the 25 bed St Michael s ward in 1953, bringing the bed total to 75. During the 1960s and 1970s, significant changes were made in the philosophy of running hospices, and more focus was put on symptom relief and enhancing a patient s quality of life to the end. Trinity Hospice still follows this policy today, putting the patient s quality of life first. In 1977 the running of Trinity Hospice was transferred from the hands of the nuns to Trinity s Council, which had been in place since the early 1900s. The hospice became a secular independent home. From 1978 1985, the first refurbishment programme took place, which included a renovation of its magnificent gardens.
