Our Stories

"If anybody is thinking about it, I’d say just give it a go. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do. The Hospice is the most magical place ever. And they need your support."

“For me volunteering is stress-free, an enjoyable way to spend a few hours and it helps me to improve my English.”

“The best way to explain what coming to the Hospice is like, is receiving an invisible cuddle as soon as you walk through the door. It hasn’t taken me long to refer to this place as ‘home’."

"The children really enjoyed it, and got involved in the different activities, and games. The parents also joined in on the fun, and it was great to see everybody chatting and laughing amongst one another. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly with everyone asking when the next one would be."

Monday 8th April 2024 “My husband, Tom Flowers spent the last three and a half weeks of his life being cared for by the staff at St Cuthbert’s Hospice. He and I could not have wished for better people to look after him. I cannot praise the staff highly enough."

Every gift left to us in a Will is special and personal. Behind these kind and generous gifts are supporters, all who have their own story and many who have a special connection to St Cuthbert’s Hospice...
