Warning: may cause smiling, thumb tapping and a serious case of the paw-sitive awws 🐾💙

This , we’re celebrating our pawsome four-legged Pets As Therapy friends who bring comfort, connection and a little bit of joy to our Hospice every day.

They bring calm and plenty of smiles to all our patients, families, staff and volunteers, one wag at a time. 🥰

They came. They hopped. They conquered. 🐰

If there were a Guinness World Records for the fastest group of corporate sponsors hopping across a Crowne Plaza Newcastle - Stephenson Quarter hotel function room to slap stickers on a wall of Peter Rabbit designs, we’re fairly sure this lot would be immortalised in print. 🏆

Tales on the Tyne sponsors, we salute your hopping prowess, competitive spirit, and excellent sense of fun. 💙

Calling all ! We need you! 🙏

This year we have a team of over 400 runners who are taking part in the Great North Run for us to help raise the vital funds we need to keep our doors open all year round, and we want to make the experience the very best we can for them. But we have a favour to ask…

We pride ourselves on being able to offer our runners an very special welcome at our charity tent at the end of the run and along with hugs, high fives and as many treats as they can eat, one of the things that always goes down well are complimentary massages offered. This is made possible thanks the massage therapists who've volunteered their time each year to offer this to our runners. But we are sadly a little short this year. Do you know anyone who could help?

We have massage beds available for use along with disposable sheets (however, you can bring your own if this is your preference) and refreshments will be provided to you on the day by our volunteers. We'd also love to give your business a shout out on our social media accounts, to thank you for your time and effort.

If you or anyone you know is available to support us on Sunday 13th September at the Great North Run charity village, we would be so grateful. If you can help, please email bethanygeorge@stoswaldsuk.org or call 0191 246 9123.

And if not, please share our post to help us reach the right people. 💙
