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 those living with life-limiting illnesses, people approaching the end of their lives and families who are bereaved. On Friday 12th December, our students will embrace the festive spirit by donning reindeer antlers and Santa hats as they walk, run, skip—or even complete laps—around the Astroturf in support of this incredible cause.
