Story
Sarah’s Star is a charity based in Northeast England, supporting people living with incurable and palliative illnesses, as well as their families and NHS health professionals.
Our friend Sarah Harrison set up the charity following a diagnosis of incurable cancer in 2019. Sarah wants people to feel purposeful and valued in their community regardless of their diagnosis and has set up a wellbeing space in the heart of North Shields.
Sarah's Star provides a wide range of holistic therapies including meditation, massage, reiki, art, music and beauty therapy, counselling, and yoga at their wellbeing space in the Linskill Centre.
They also host death cafes and talks to normalise the conversation around palliative and end of life care, working closely with local hospitals, schools, and universities to reframe these topics and try and alleviate some of the fear that can be associated when facing an incurable or palliative diagnosis.
Any support is greatly appreciated as this charity means a lot to us all.
Thank you, Steve.
