As we mark the 40th anniversary of St Andrew’s Hospice, we celebrate four decades of compassion, commitment and community impact.

This milestone reflects the dedication of everyone who has supported the hospice’s mission over the years, and the lasting difference made to people’s lives. We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the community and businesses of Lanarkshire and beyond for their unwavering support over these 40 years – you have all been part of our journey.

On Thursday 23^rd April, the people of Lanarkshire gathered at Airdrie Town Hall to celebrate 40 years of care at St Andrew’s Hospice.

The event, hosted by radio DJ Des Clarke, saw speakers from across the hospice’s 40-year history take to the stage to reflect, reminisce and give thanks for the community’s incredible support of the local charity.

You can watch a recording of the event, as well as a specially-commissioned short film which documents the past, the present and looks to the future of St Andrew’s Hospice below.

If you attended and would like a copy of the programme, you can download it here. You can also order a special commemorative 40th Anniversary pin badge here.

We’re also compiling the memories of people we’ve supported over the years, along with stories from staff & volunteers and the people of Lanarkshire and beyond. Have you or a loved one ever used any of our services? Maybe you’ve volunteered with us or taken part in a fundraising event? If you have a story or memory you’d like to share, you can do so via this dedicated form.
