Balfour Beatty to build new home for Glasgow’s Hospice
As the first JCB arrived on site at Bellahouston Park, The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice Chief Executive Rhona Baillie announced that Balfour Beatty is the contractor for work to build a new home for Glasgow’s Hospice. This marks the start of a project
to build a state-of-the-art hospice on land gifted by Glasgow City Council that will see patients move to the new hospice in 2018. The Glasgow office of
international law firm Pinsent Masons has provided vital pro bono work on the building project and Alastair Forbes of Ryder Architecture is leading the team of architects. The new hospice will bring
21st century palliative care to the people of Glasgow, a major step forward in the provision of hospice services, providing the flexibility to
Glasgow Lord Provost Sadie Docherty with Rhona Baillie, Chief Executive, The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice
develop and improve services, and lower the age limit of patients to include 15-year-old patients and their families. The hospice still has to raise £2.7million of the £21m needed to finish the build. It recently launched Buy a Brick, the latest phase of its Brick by Brick Appeal. To donate, visit
