The Minis returned to St Oswald’s Hospice! 🚗

We were excited to welcome the Tynemouth Mini Club to the Hospice on Sunday 12th April - and yes, they brought their amazing delivery of 80 donated Easter Eggs (even though Easter was over, we definitely weren’t complaining! 🐣🍫)

Around 20 classic Minis convoyed down Regent Avenue before parking up at the Hospice - always a brilliant sight and a real mood‑lifter for everyone here.

In previous years, the club has generously donated many Easter eggs, which have been shared across our departments to spread some joy to patients and families.

Thank you to Tynemouth Mini Car Club for their continued kindness and support - it was wonderful to see them! 💙

POV: You’ve just been paw-ffessionally nose booped by Pets As Therapy dog, Sally 🐶

Side effects may include: instant smiles, improved mood, and wanting another boop! 🫶

Sally’s visits aren’t just about the nose boops (although they help!) – they’re about bringing calm, comfort and a little bit of joy to patients, their families, and our staff and volunteers. She’s always paws on duty, delivering tail-wagging moments and un-fur-gettable cuddles, with her owner Cath right by her side 💙

Earlier this week, we joined Hospice UK at Westminster to call for fair funding.

Steph-Edusei St Oswald's Hospice and Davina Radford met MPs to talk about the real impact hospice care has for patients and families.

We’re grateful to our local MPs for listening and taking the time to understand why fair hospice funding is so vital. Steph said that the additional funding hospices are asking for would “deliver so much” for people who need hospice care – and we’re hopeful MPs will now urge the Chancellor to act.

💙 Please swipe through, share in support of hospices, and tell us in the comments what hospice care means to you…

Some hospices delivered a joint letter to the Prime Minister, while others, including Steph and Davina, met with MPs, including Mary Glindon MP, MP for Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend, Liz Twist, MP for Consett and Blaydon and Lewis Atkinson MP - Sunderland Central, MP for Sunderland Central, to share a clear message about the importance of hospice care and the need for fair, sustainable funding.

This year, St Oswald’s Hospice turns 40.

For four decades, our commitment has been the same: free, compassionate, expert care for local people.

But like hospices everywhere, we are under growing financial pressure. Demand for hospice care is rising and costs are increasing but NHS funding isn’t keeping pace.

That’s why today we’re speaking up for long-term funding that matches the true cost of hospice care.

Later today, our Chief Executive, Steph-Edusei St Oswald's Hospice, and our Spiritual Care and Community Projects Lead, Davina Radford, will be in Westminster alongside hospices from across the country for Hospice UK’s national Day of Action.

Together, we’re calling for fair, sustainable funding for hospice care – and asking the Government to take action.

If hospice care has touched your life, we’d love you to add a comment below about what hospice care means to you. And please share this post to help more people understand why fair hospice funding matters.

As we mark our 40th year, we want to make sure this care is here for the next 40 too. 💙

As we pause to mark Vaisakhi, Steph-Edusei St Oswald's Hospice, our CEO, has recorded a short message to share her warm wishes with everyone celebrating.

For many, Vaisakhi is a time of celebration, reflection and renewal – bringing people together and encouraging us to look out for one another. These moments reflect so many of the values we see every day across our Hospice, from compassion and kindness to the strength of community.

We’re wishing a joyful Vaisakhi to our Sikh and Punjabi communities - and to everyone marking this special time 🥰

Warning: may cause smiling, thumb tapping and a serious case of the paw-sitive awws 🐾💙

This , we’re celebrating our pawsome four-legged Pets As Therapy friends who bring comfort, connection and a little bit of joy to our Hospice every day.

They bring calm and plenty of smiles to all our patients, families, staff and volunteers, one wag at a time. 🥰

They came. They hopped. They conquered. 🐰

If there were a Guinness World Records for the fastest group of corporate sponsors hopping across a Crowne Plaza Newcastle - Stephenson Quarter hotel function room to slap stickers on a wall of Peter Rabbit designs, we’re fairly sure this lot would be immortalised in print. 🏆

Tales on the Tyne sponsors, we salute your hopping prowess, competitive spirit, and excellent sense of fun. 💙
