St Columba’s Hospice in Edinburgh is committed to providing the highest standards of care for patients with active, progressive, far-advanced illness for which there is no cure, as well as support for their families and carers. Our services are completely free.

As a local, independent charity, we rely on public support. The operating cost to run St Columba’s Hospice for one minute is £11.61. That means that it costs more than £6 million to run the Hospice each year. To achieve this, St Columba’s relies on a voluntary income of more than £3 million annually from our friends and supporters.

Running the Edinburgh Marathon for St Columba’s Hospice will help us to continue to provide specialist palliative care to the people in our community who need it most.
