Fundraising
There are so many ways to help, and every single penny that you donate will make a real difference to our patients – many of whom are local people who may be your neighbours, friends or relatives. St Benedict’s Hospice provides specialist palliative care when there is no cure, adding life to days when days can’t be added to life. We believe that everyone we care for deserves the best quality of care no matter their circumstances.
Our friendly fundraising team loves to hear from our dedicated supporters. The team will help and support you in any way they can with your fundraising and donations. Give us a call on 0191 512 8436, email us on fundraising@stbenedicts.co.uk or even pop in during office hours and ask for us at reception – we’re always happy to chat, and there may even be a delicious coffee and a scone waiting for you in our Bistro.
Your support makes a real difference to everything we do at the hospice. Your fundraising ensures our patients get so much more support and care when they need it the very most.
From counselling to expert medical care, bespoke equipment to specialist therapies, our patients and families receive the very best care at St Benedict’s thanks to you.
