Making memories and moments to share 💙

Yesterday, we celebrated our Focus on Living Centre patient, Pauline’s birthday.

The Day Services team came together to make her day extra special, surprising Pauline with a beautifully decorated cake inspired by her favourite pastimes – from knitting and painting to shopping at The White Stuff 🧶🎨

To top it off, Pauline enjoyed a relaxing birthday foot massage from our wonderful Complementary Therapist, Nicky.

Pauline was incredibly touched and told us she couldn’t remember the last time she had balloons and a candle on her cake. 🎂

Join the birthday fun and wish Pauline a very happy birthday in the comments! 👇

What are your thoughts on end-of-life care in the North East? 💭

We’re working with Macmillan Cancer Support and the nhs.uk to better understand what really matters to people in our region — and we’d love to hear from you.

The survey is completely anonymous, takes just a few minutes, and asks simple questions about how comfortable you feel talking about death and dying, and what’s most important to you at the end of life.

Your views will help shape a regional health needs assessment and guide improvements to care — now and in the future — supporting more compassionate, fair, and person-centred care for everyone. 💙

Three weeks ago today, we embarked on an exciting but nerve-wracking challenge - to raise £300,000 in just 33 hours, to fund our hospice bereavement support and social work services for a year.

But we weren't alone - our community got behind us, with people and businesses coming together to make every moment of Giving Day count.

The stats speak for themselves. A generous match funding pot from a donor meant that every one of the 2202 donations received were doubled. Our 323 Champions worked hard to reach as many people as possible, meaning that after just over 33 hours, we hit - and surpassed - our target.

What an incredible way to end 2025. We now look forward to 2026, with the funds secured to cover costs for our bereavement support and social work services for the full year. 🥰

Thank you so much to everyone who was part of our Giving Day. 💙
