St Oswald's Hospice Limited

Charity Registration No. 503386

St Oswald's provides hospice care for North East adults, young adults and children with life limiting conditions.

They believe in quality time for everyone, no matter how much time that may be.

St Oswald’s provides care for adults with life limiting conditions such as Cancer and Motor Neurone Disease. They also offer specialist short breaks to children with progressive, life shortening conditions.

Families from across the region – North Tyneside, Northumberland, Newcastle, Gateshead, South Tyneside, Sunderland and North Durham – can benefit from the services offered.

As a registered charity, St Oswald’s relies heavily on voluntary giving to ensure their services to local people. Annual running costs now exceed £7 million, of which £5 million must be raised through charitable giving.

No charge is made for any of the care services ensuring hospice care is available to everyone.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.We are running the 2009 Great North Run in aid of St Oswald's Hospice in Newcastle upon Tyne. St Oswald's is a leader in the field of providing hospice care for both adults and children, however receives less than 30% of it's £7m annual running costs from the NHS. The rest must be raised by fundraising efforts. They are also reliant on an incredible army of 800 volunteers, who are vital to the Hospice's continuing work. Please show your support for their considerable effort by donating in aid of our efforts in the Great North Run.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.
