Raising money for

St Cuthbert's Hospice

Charity Registration No. 519767

St Cuthbert's Hospice has provided care and support to the people of Durham and Chester le Street who suffer from life limiting conditions, as well as their families and carers, for 21 years.

One in three people will be affected by a Hospice in some way, so the work we do affects all corners of the community. Our philosophy at St Cuthbert's Hospice is to help local people with life limiting illnesses experience greater quality of life, allowing them to make the most of each day. St Cuthbert's Hospice helps around 80 local families each month, and for these people, the Hospice is a source of comfort, reassurance and strength.

Whether this is by providing pain relief and symptom management, or by offering a peaceful place to stay and a range of activities, the emphasis at St. Cuthbert's is on empowerment and making every day count. We operate a Day Hospice, a ten-bed In Patient Unit and a range of therapies and treatments.

As a registered charity, we make no charge for our services and rely on the support of the local community to raise the further £1 million each year that is needed to continue to provide our special kind of care.

In September 2006 we opened the new 10 bedded In-Patient Unit, which is able to offer care 24 hours a day. This care includes symptom management, short term planned admission and rehabilitation, and End of Life Care.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On Sunday 20th September we will be taking part in the Great North Run in aid of St. Cuthbert’s Hospice, Durham.

St. Cuthbert’s Hospice provides a range of care and support services to individuals, as well as to their relatives and carers, reducing the distress associated with life limiting illnesses and making every day count.

It's a charity which means a lot to us, and is currently helping those close to us.

They are a real local charity which makes no charge for their services, relying on fundraising and community support in order to continue their essential work.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Many Thanks

Kathryn and Caroline
