The gardening season has officially begun at St Columba’s.

After a winter pause, our Compassionate Gardeners gathered for the first time this year — and they’re ready to get going.

These generous volunteers offer time, care, and plenty of TLC to the gardens of our community patients who need a little extra help. It’s practical support, yes — but it’s also about kindness, dignity, and helping outdoor spaces feel cared for again.

Gloves are on, tools are out, spirits are high… and the weeds have been warned.
Thank you to our Compassionate Gardeners for all you do — quietly making a difference, one garden at a time.

We all have our favourite walks, routes that connect us to a memory of a time, or a person, or even just a feeling.

Our Community Artist is currently curating a guide of walks across Edinburgh and East Lothian, so if you have a walk that's helped you, we'd love to hear about it.

Each year, the Hospice relies on income received from legacies to continue to provide services free of charge to people across Edinburgh and the Lothian's, with life-limiting illnesses. In the last year alone, the care of 1 in 4 of our patients was covered by gifts in Wills.

Help us to continue being there for individuals and their families when they need us most. Find out more about writing a will for the first time, or updating an existing will, by visiting our website https://stcolumbashospice.org.uk/donate/will-power.

For a second year, we're proud to stand with over 125 hospices across across England, Scotland, and Wales, for the "This is Hospice Care" campaign, brought together by Hospice UK.

Hospice care is more than you think, and it's closer than you know. Somewhere in your life, in your family, your friendships, your community - hospice care is already making a difference in ways you might not expect.

But just as the ways we help people grow every year, the need also grows.

We’re able to support one in four people we care for because someone - a stranger, a neighbour, someone who never even used our services - decided hospice care mattered enough to protect. Someone you'll never meet made sure we could be here for your community. Now we're asking you to be that someone for the next generation.

Together, we can make sure that hospice care lives on for all, for now, forever.
