St Columba’s ‘AOIBHINN’ – The Story, by Maeve Gillies.
 St Columba’s Hospice has been caring for
patients in Edinburgh and the Lothians
with cancer and other terminal illnesses
since 1977.
The Day Hospice, In-Patient
Unit and Community Nursing Team are all
vital resources, providing specialist
care to over 1,000 people and their
families each year. The Hospice aims to
help people live as actively as
possible, from diagnosis, right up to
the end of their lives. As well as the
highest quality of clinical care, the
Hospice also offers emotional, spiritual
and practical support to patients, their
families and carers. St Columba’s
Hospice aims to help people face the
most difficult experience they will ever
go through, with confidence and dignity. All services are given completely free
of charge.
St Columba’s Hospice is
currently being completely rebuilt to
create a state-of-the-art specialist
palliative care facility. The Hospice
has temporarily decanted all clinical
services to House, Gogarbank
for the duration of the rebuild project.
St Columba’s Hospice will return to
Trinity, North Edinburgh in 2014. St
Columba’s is a charity, not part of the
NHS. It costs over £6m per annum to keep
our Hospice running and the Hospice is
dependent on donations to find 67% of
that money. The rebuild project will
cost £26 million, £3 million of which
still needs to be raised.
A rare Ardbeg 1974 Single Malt
Scotch whisky bottled in a unique bottle
designed by Maeve Gillies is to be
auctioned to raise funds for an
essential rebuild of St Columba’s
Hospice in Edinburgh. See links below
for more details.
