We have a wonderful team of amazing trekkers taking on the stretch of Hadrian’s Wall path between Housesteads Roman Fort and the Walltown Visitor Centre which is one of the most picturesque sections of the trail. This part of the trail is approximately 14 miles and offers breathtaking views and the opportunity to see some of the most well-preserved sections of the wall whilst raising money to support those living with with life-limiting illnesses.

Why do people support St Cuthbert's Hospice? It all started with the local community...

Over three decades ago a group of Durham residents came together for a common cause. They saw the absence of care and support available for those coming to the end of their lives and decided to take action. Thanks to their many years of fundraising and dedication, St Cuthbert's Hospice first opened its doors in 1988 to provide services, free of charge, for people with advanced illness, people approaching the end of their lives and those who are bereaved.

Everyone who comes to us is an individual and so their care should be individual too. Our multi-professional team consists of specially trained doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers and counsellors. They all work collaboratively to make sure all patients can discuss their needs and wishes when spending time with us. Find out more about our care and have a look around the Hospice.

We receive some government funding towards our care, but rely on donations, legacies, charity shops, charitable trusts and people playing our Lottery or coming to our events to meet the cost of providing our exceptional care and support. We must raise over £2 million each year.
