Music, smiles and a lovely moment in our Chapel 😁

This week, students from Gosforth Junior High Academy came in to sing for us, bringing a bit of Easter cheer.

Our Children and Young Adults Service, alongside patients from our Adult Inpatient Unit, their families, and our staff and volunteers all came together to listen, with lots of smiles around the room.

A big thank you to the students and staff for such a kind visit 🥰

Well...last night was quite something! ✨🐰

Crowne Plaza Newcastle - Stephenson Quarter was taken over by a fluffle of very excited rabbits - in the form of our wonderful trail sponsors - for our Artist and Sponsor Matching event. 🤝

After an hour of browsing the shortlisted designs (and plenty of anxious deliberation), our game‐for‐a‐laugh sponsors took on The Bunny Hop, bouncing their way across the room to claim their favourite design. And what brilliant choices they made. Huge thanks to them all for being such fantastic sports. 💙

We now have our final Peter Rabbit™ designs confirmed, and the successful artists will soon begin painting ahead of the trail opening in July. 🎨

For now, the chosen designs remain top secret...but keep your eyes peeled for sneak peeks and behind‐the‐scenes updates from our artists very soon. 👀

Read more from this unforgettable evening via the link in our comments.

Not only did this year's Tree-cycle campaign collect a staggering 5000 trees from the good people of the North East and raise nearly £100,000, but some of the recycled chippings have also been used to line the walkway in the Children's Memory Garden, and it's looking blooming lovely! 🌸

Thank you to everyone who tree-cycled with us 🎄♻

This week marks the start of two important celebrations in our communities – Eid and Navratri. 🌙🪔

As Ramadan comes to an end, many families will be celebrating Eid, while others will be marking the beginning of Navratri.

Moments like these are a chance to recognise and celebrate the many cultures, traditions and communities that make up the places we serve across the North East.

At St Oswald’s Hospice, we’re proud to have colleagues who act as Haref Allies, working alongside Haref, a network that supports organisations across the North East to reduce health inequalities and improve access to health and wellbeing services.

Our Haref Allies are pictured here, helping us better understand and build stronger connections with the communities we serve. Through this work, we continue to develop our understanding and ensure our services feel welcoming and accessible to everyone who may need hospice care.

Today, we’re thinking of every mum who’s been part of our St Oswald’s Hospice family – patients, mums of patients, staff, volunteers and supporters. 💙

Our Remembering Mum poem is a gentle reminder to hold close the moments that matter.

Whether you’re celebrating or remembering someone dearly missed, we hope this brings comfort and a moment to pause.

Oscar‑winning service 🏆 🎞️

Last week, we received an anonymous donation from someone in America after they were blown away by the work of Gabe, our Ecommerce Assistant 💛

Before donated item are sold online, our St Oswald's Retail Ecommerce team carefully research each object to make sure they're sold on the right platform and at the best price. When a collection of Super 8 and 8mm films arrived from a House Clearance, Gabe reached out to the film community on Reddit for advice.

One collector Gabe chatted with was so impressed by his commitment to rehoming the film collection that they made a one‑off donation to the Hospice. Their comment is below 👇

💬 “I’m an American collector of old film reels. Someone at the Hospice Charity Shop received a beautiful, valuable collection and took the time to seek advice from the film‑collecting community to handle it properly and raise the best profit for the hospice. You are so lucky to have this worker! Thank you for the good works you do.”

You can shop the film collection on our eBay store now by clicking the link in our comments 👇
