“Being part of such an iconic Northern charity means a great deal to me. The hospice sector plays such a vital role in providing care, comfort and dignity at the most important times in people’s lives. I feel honoured to contribute – even in a small way – to that mission.”

For Sahreen, joining our Board of Trustees is all about people – the patients, families and communities who turn to St Oswald’s Hospice when they need care the most. 💙

With over 15 years’ experience in finance and transformation, she’s passionate about making sure organisations run well so they can focus on what really matters – people.

Now, she’s using her skills to help the hospice stay strong for the future, so that compassionate, free care will always be there for those who need it most.

We’re so grateful to have your passion and purpose on our team, Sahreen 🙌

A gift left in a Will to St Oswald's Hospice is a promise to provide care, comfort and support to patients and their families when they need it the most 💙

We're incredibly touched by the kindness of Jimmy, who left a gift to St Oswald's Hospice after seeing the life changing impact hospice care has for his friend's granddaughter, through our Children and Young Adults Service.

Judy said, "My daughter Alex has been coming to the hospice for short breaks since she was five years old. When Jimmy told me about the gift he was leaving to St Oswald's Hospice in his Will, I was speechless. He had seen the difference it has made in Alex's life and knew he wanted more people to experience that."

Pumpkin kindness that’s simply spooktacular! 🎃

A huge THANK YOU to Lauren and Thomas from Oxford Farm Pumpkin Patch for their generosity! This wonderful duo has kindly donated pumpkins to St Oswald’s Hospice, bringing seasonal smiles to children, young adults, and families supported by our Children and Young Adults Service and Bereavement Support Team. 💙

Lauren and Thomas run Oxford Farm Pumpkin Patch with so much care and community spirit. From growing and picking the pumpkins to sharing them with others, they’re all about spreading a little pumpkin magic and un-boo-lievable Halloween joy.

Lauren shared that they wanted to make sure children and families could still enjoy the fun of carving and decorating pumpkins this year – especially those who might not have had the chance to get one themselves.

Thank you, Lauren, Thomas, and everyone at Oxford Farm Pumpkin Patch, for helping us carve out some spooktacular fun this Halloween! You’re the pick of the patch! 🎃✨
