The three hospices serving Lanarkshire patients have earned a lottery jackpot of nearly £200,000 to continue their Compassionate Lanarkshire project for a further three years.
St Andrew’s in Airdrie, Kilbryde Hospice in East Kilbride and Strathcarron, which serves Cumbernauld and Kilsyth, will also then receive match funding from South Lanarkshire health and social care partnership for the vital work.
It has so far supported nearly 1000 patients and carers during its first three years, offering specialist support at home and in the community for those affected by life-limiting illnesses including cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease and progressive neurological conditions.
