About the charity

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.
