Freya, Joe and Ava raised an incredible £2,295 at Darlington Junior 3k in memory of their dad and uncle, Owen. 💚

Freya and Ava's dad, Owen, began receiving support from St Teresa's Hospice in 2024 after he was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour. Owen's wife, Lindsey, described receiving the news of Owen's diagnosis as "truly terrifying - you feel lost in a world you no long recognise, unsure of where to turn."

The support of St Teresa's Hospice made a huge difference to Owen and his family. Having access to trained counsellors meant that Owen had a safe space to talk about his diagnosis and Freya was provided with weekly bereavement counselling sessions following his death, which allowed her to explore and normalise her feelings. Lindsey described how our team were able to help her navigate her own way through Owen's diagnosis and death, "they helped me grieve and also be the best mum I could be in the worst possible circumstances."

We'd like to say a huge thank you to Freya, Joe and Ava. Choosing to honour Owen's memory in this way is such a special thing to do. Thank you for helping us be there for future families who need us. 💚

In two weeks our brave trekkers will be setting off for the Sahara Desert! 🐪

We're excited to mark our 40th year with such an incredible adventure. Over the course of 6 days our trekkers will navigate the stunning desert landscape, camp under a canopy of stars and experience the rich traditions of the Berber people – all in support of our hospice.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to Kieran from Its A Sign for sponsoring the t-shirts our trekkers will be wearing in the desert. We can't wait to share all the photos with you!

Caring responsibilities can creep up on you.

If you’re supporting a loved one with a life-limiting illness you may be a carer, even if you don’t think of yourself that way.

Our Carers’ Support Group offers a friendly and informal place to take some time for yourself, meet others in a similar situation and access support, advice and information from our specialist Family Support Team.

A huge thank you to Acorn Dairy and everyone who bought tickets for their farm tours. The £1,253 you collectively raised for St Teresa's Hospice will go towards supporting local people in our community who need compassionate care.

With less than 25% of our funding coming from the NHS we rely on the generosity of our local community. We're so grateful to everyone who donates and fundraises for us. Because you care, we can. 💚

A will isn't really for you - it's for the people you love. It saves them time and worry and it puts your wishes in writing so no one's left guessing. 💚

It's also a chance to keep supporting St Teresa’s Hospice. A gift in your will could help us support a child after a parent has died or provide vital care to a patient in the comfort of their own home.

That's why we've teamed up with expert estate planners Octopus Legacy so you can write or update your will for free, online, over the phone or in person. We cover the cost up to £150. So a simple will is free or a will with trust comes at a discount.

As an alternative to Octopus Legacy, you can also find a local solicitor through the Law Society here: https://ow.ly/Oo8o50ZQEQz

In September, we were visited by Mike Poole, the Vice Lord Lieutenant of County Durham.

Trades4Care were hard at work decorating our beautiful listed Woodlands building and Mike was able to admire their handiwork. Our Chair of Trustees Carol Charlton took Mike on a tour around our hospice, where he witnessed the amazing care and support our staff and volunteers provide to patients on our Inpatient Unit and learned about the care we provide to patients in their homes. 💚

What an incredible evening! 💖

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our Ruby Ball as we celebrated 40 years of St Teresa's Hospice. Together, you have raised over £31,000 for hospice care!

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our guests, sponsors, volunteers, performers and everyone who helped make the event such a success. Your generosity and support will help us continue providing compassionate care to local people and their families when they need it most.
