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

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I am entering the St Cuthbert's Hospice Midnight Walk in Durham on Saturday 20th June in memory of my wonderful Mum who sadly died of pancreatic cancer on 23rd May 2009.

I obviously want to raise as much as I can for this wonderful place and every penny raised will help make someone's life a little easier during a very difficult time.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Cuthbert's Hospice gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support and kindness.
