Octave chose to support The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice with the proceeds from the 2014 concerts. The Hospice exists to help patients achieve the best quality of life possible in whatever time remains for them. Where it may not be possible to add days to lives, the hospice aims to add life to days. As a registered charity, care is free of charge so the Hospice depends on the generosity of supporters to raise the £5 million that is required each year to maintain their invaluable services for over 1,200 patients and their families. Plans have been unveiled to build a new 21st century hospice near Bellahouston Park on Glasgow’s south side, which will enhance the current service and allow a lower age limit of 15 and above. In September 2012 the Hospice launched its ‘Brick by Brick Appeal’ to raise the remaining £15 million needed to build this new facility for the people of Glasgow. Following the concert, member of Octave were invited to see round the Hospice’s current facilities and see first-hand the good they are doing. At this visit, the group were delighted to present a cheque for £1,250 to the Hospice.
