As part of a recent BBC Politics North feature, our CEO Paul, Chair of Hospices North East North Cumbria, emphasised the significance of Hospice services and the challenges Hospices across the region are facing due to escalating energy costs.

St Cuthbert’s Hospice are ‘branching out’ and extending its Christmas Tree Recycling Scheme to new postcodes in County Durham for 2024! The charity based in Durham, launched the environmentally friendly service in 2021 and their last collection saw them recycle over 500 real trees from across the region and raise over £6,000 to support local families who need care and support.

Over 30 schools and groups have signed up to support St Cuthbert’s Hospice this festive season by taking on their own Santa Run in aid of the charity. Santa Runners are going to be donning their best festive attire and raising sponsorship for the much-loved Hospice, based in Durham City.

We are delighted to announce that St Cuthbert's Hospice is one of the 27 hospices across the UK to be selected for an extremely generous grant from Julia and Hans Rausing. The funds will be used to help cover the rising day-to-day costs, caused by inflation and high energy prices.

From Monday 9th October to Sunday 15th October, Hospice’s across the country are raising awareness for Hospice UK’s annual Hospice Care Week campaign.

In celebration of Hospice Care Week and the incredible work that is being done to make sure everyone can benefit from the very best end of life care, we wanted to share with you what it means to be apart of the St Cuthbert’s Hospice Team.

In celebration of Durham City RFC Clubs’ 150th anniversary and to raise money for St Cuthbert’s Hospice, a group of six friends from Durham are planning on walking to every affiliated rugby club in County Durham this autumn.
