The 1891 Club: A philanthropic community honouring the founding spirit of Royal Trinity Hospice


Founded in 1891 through a remarkable act of generosity, Royal Trinity Hospice is the UK’s oldest hospice. Today, The 1891 Club continues that tradition by bringing together a dedicated community of philanthropists who support Trinity annually and help ensure that exceptional, compassionate care remains available to everyone who needs it.

As a member, you will enjoy a curated programme of special events, have opportunities to meet Trinity’s leadership and care team, and receive regular updates on the impact of your generosity, helping to keep you informed, inspired, and closely connected to the work you make possible. 

At its heart, philanthropy is about more than financial support. We look forward to learning what matters most to you, exchanging ideas, and collaborating on projects that reflect your values and create lasting impact.
