We are thrilled to share that, thanks to the generosity of our community, we have collected 650 books to be donated to County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust. These books will help replenish the hospital library, offering patients a comforting escape and entertainment during their stay.
From children's stories to adult fiction, non-fiction, and puzzle books — every single donation will make a difference. Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped spread the word. Your kindness and support mean the world to us and to those who will benefit from these books.
As the books are being collected this Monday, we’re now pausing donations for the time being. But please keep an eye out — we’ll soon be supporting other great causes, and we’d love your help again!
Thank you for your continued kindness and generosity

Did you catch our Funeralcare colleague Edward on ITV Tonight last week? 👀📺

In the episode on sorting your affairs, Edward from Pontefract Funeralcare shared his experience of taking out a funeral plan at just 20 years old. You can watch it back here (Edward appears from 18 mins in!) ➡️ https://www.itv.com/watch/tonight/1a2803/1a2803a9481.

Getting our affairs in order can be a daunting task - Paul Brand investigates some of the important things to sort and finds out what can happen when we don't.

What’s one object or hobby that instantly reminds you of someone special? Share it in the comments 👇 We’ve teamed up with an artist to turn some of your beautiful memories into a hand-painted remembrance pebble, a beautiful way to honour their story and say goodbye, in your own way 💙

We’re sorry our artist won’t be able to paint all of your submissions but please share anyway, we love hearing all your stories!
