HRH The Duchess of Cornwall has agreed to become the Royal Patron of Trinity Hospice
in London.
Trinity Hospice, founded by William Hoare of the Hoare banking family
in 1891, is the UK’s oldest hospice and has a proud tradition of Royal Support. 
HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was Patron for 76 years, and took an active 
interest in the Hospice’s work.

Viscount Linley has also been, and remains, a Patron of Trinity. He is currently
working as a volunteer with Trinity’s fundraising and project committee to plan 
and deliver a proposed new £10 million in-patient centre at the Hospice’s Clapham
North Side home.

 

 

Richard Briance, Chairman of the Board of Trustees said: “We are looking forward
to showing The Duchess our work first hand when she visits the Hospice, and to introducing
our new Royal Patron to as many of our staff, volunteers and supporters as possible
over the coming months and years.”
