🦇 It's officially Goth Weekend in Whitby! 🖤

And things have taken a rather haunting turn at our Baxtergate store! 👻

We've undergone a gothic transformation, with plenty of dark treasures, spooky decorations and wonderfully gothic goodies waiting to be discovered.

But there's also a little surprise in our window display... 👀

Our very own Danny and Carl are 'laying it bare for hospice care' by bravely posing as naked models! Don't worry, we've kept things tasteful.

A huge thank you to Danny and Carl for their bravery. They're shedding their dignity so others can keep theirs!

So, while you're enjoying all the gothic goings-on in Whitby, pop in and visit us at Baxtergate to see what dark delights you can uncover.

Shop spooky. Support hospice care.

As we start getting ready for our Saint Catherine’s Christmas Fair on Saturday 21st November, we're looking for a few festive donations to help make the day extra special.

If you have any unwanted Christmas decorations at home that you'd be happy to donate, we'd be incredibly grateful for any of the following:

• Christmas trees (any size)
• Baubles and other Christmas decorations
• Christmas lights
• Wrapping paper and ribbon
• Empty cardboard boxes that we can use for wrapping and decorating

Whether you have a handful of spare baubles or a whole box of decorations tucked away in the loft, every donation will help.

We're hoping to create a magical Christmas atmosphere for everyone visiting the fair. By donating unwanted decorations, you'll help us keep costs down so that even more of the money raised can go towards supporting local people with life-limiting conditions and their families.

If you'd like to donate, please drop your items off at our hospice on Throxenby Lane.

Thank you for helping us make this Christmas Fair one to remember! 🎄

A huge thank you to Dot for her wonderful contribution to our Bags of Compassion project. 💜

Bags of Compassion was inspired by a wonderful initiative created by St Columba's Hospice Care, who kindly shared the idea with us. It provides handmade fabric bags that help our teams return patients' personal belongings to their families with dignity, compassion and care.

Each bag is lovingly sewn by a volunteer, offering a thoughtful alternative to plastic bags during one of life's most difficult moments. Every stitch is a simple act of kindness that can bring comfort when it matters most.

Thank you, Dot, for giving your time, talent and generosity. Your beautiful handmade bags will make a lasting difference to so many families.

🧵 Could you help? If you can spare some time to sew a few Bags of Compassion, we'd love to hear from you. You can find out more about the project, including our sewing guide, here:

Good luck to local poet Abbie Marian Ingham as she takes to the stage tonight in support of Saint Catherine's.

Join Abbie for "The Witterings of the Lady with the Purple Hair" at Cask and Keg, from 7pm–8.30pm.

An evening of poetry and spoken word featuring pieces from her published book alongside brand-new material. Honest, cheeky, a little bit sweary and full of personality, Abbie's work is inspired by her own life experiences.

🎟️ Tickets: £5 on the door (cash only)
💜 Donations from the evening will contribute to supporting patient care at Saint Catherine's.

Thank you, Abbie, for supporting Saint Catherine's, and best of luck for a wonderful evening!

It’s Thank You Thursday, and today we’re saying a huge thank you to our fabulous supporters at Scarborough Rotary 1040!

During the summer, the Rotarians held a fundraising bucket collection at The Kooks’ concert at Scarborough Open Air Theatre, raising a fantastic £1,000 for Saint Catherine’s!

Scarborough Rotary, who meet weekly at Scarborough Rugby Union Football Club, generously support us with this collection year after year. Their continued generosity reflects the very heart of Rotary: service, friendship and bringing people together to make a positive difference in the community.

We’re incredibly grateful to every Rotarian who gave their time, and to everyone who dropped a donation into the bucket. Your support helps contribute towards patient care and means so much to us. 💛

And with next summer’s announcements from Scarborough Open Air Theatre coming thick and fast, we’re already excited to see which artists will be heading our way! 🎤

Thank you, Scarborough Rotary, for continuing to stand alongside Saint Catherine’s. You’re anything but Naïve when it comes to the power of community kindness! 🧡
