[2] Royal Trinity Hospice provides its specialist services free of charge for those who need them across its community of over 750,000 people from central and south-west London.

[4] William Hoare created the hospice in 1891 when he appealed for funds in The Times newspaper on Christmas Day to provide a home "for the man who is neither curable nor incurable, but simply dying".

During the 1960s and 1970s, significant changes were made in the philosophy of running hospices, and more focus was put on symptom relief and enhancing a patient's quality of life to the end.

In 1980, Trinity's first full-time medical director was appointed and its home-care team was established, offering their services to people with terminal illnesses in their own homes.

[5] The building greatly improved the services provided at Trinity, offering patients private, en suites, family-friendly areas, counselling and bereavement rooms, new medical facilities and balconies overlooking peaceful gardens.

[6] Trinity has an estate of 21 shops across central and south west London selling new and pre-used goods, that help generate over £5.6 million towards free palliative and end of life care every year.

[9] In 2018, Royal Trinity Hospice shops collaborated with food writer Jasmine Hemsley on a collection of pre-used goods as part of the Love Not Landfill campaign, funded by the London Waste and Recycling board.
