Create a lasting tribute with Meadow of Memories 💙

Designed by artist Julia Stafford, this beautiful book bench sculpture offers a special way to remember someone you love and miss.

For a donation of £30 to St Oswald's Hospice, we will add the name of your loved to one of the hand-painted leaves adorning the bench, each a gentle symbol of remembrance, watched over by Peter Rabbit™ himself. 🐰

You’ll be able to visit Meadow of Memories during the Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne trail at Newcastle Cathedral and see your leaf in person. After the trail, the sculpture will return to St Oswald’s Hospice gardens, becoming a permanent tribute to every person included on it. The funds raised from dedications will help the hospice to provide care and support, free of charge, to local adults, children and their families.

Supporting our community through grief 💙

This month, we joined our friends at Everyturn Mental Health to spend some time talking openly about grief and how it affects us all.

Our wonderful Community Projects Lead, Laura Barrett, led a gentle and thoughtful session that gave their team space to understand grief better, feel more confident supporting others, and reflect on their own experiences of loss.

Jack Southern from Everyturn shared some lovely feedback:
“This partnership strengthens our practice. Laura’s knowledge has helped our team become grief and loss allies.”

We’re so proud of our Bereavement Team and the way they help people across the North East through some of life’s toughest moments. 💛

What does hospice care mean to you? 💛

We know the word ‘hospice’ can be daunting to some, and that many people may not really know what hospice care truly is.

We asked some of the staff and volunteers here at St Oswald’s to share something about our hospice.

With your help, we can continue to be here for those who need us at the most difficult of times.

Take a look at a Sashiko‑Inspired Repair Workshop hosted by Northumbria University and IMPACT+ 🧵

Using donated garments that were a little too worn to be resold, the University's repair experts guided attendees to upcycle and personalise denim and woven fabrics. There was a real buzz throughout the afternoon and it was brilliant to foster a sense of community, creativity and collaboration whilst championing sustainable fashion.

You can read BBC Newcastle’s coverage of the workshop, and make sure to keep an eye on the space events page for future mending sessions by clicking the links in the comments 👇

Did you know we have 894 volunteers, aged 14 to 91?

From helping in our kitchens, gardens and St Oswald's Retail charity shops to welcoming visitors at reception and supporting teams on the wards, our volunteers are at the heart of Hospice care 💙

We recently caught up with Tom, Greg and Liz, who volunteer in retail, Lymphoedema and the gardens, to hear what inspires them to give their time. You can read their stories by clicking the link in our comments.

If one of our volunteers has gone above and beyond to support you, please leave a comment below 👇

This , we are proud to recognise our paw-some PAT dogs who visit our hospice and the comfort they bring to our patients, families, staff and volunteers. They truly make a paws-itive difference each and every day. 🥰

Through quiet companionship and gentle interaction, our Pets As Therapy Dogs help create moments of calm and connection. They are simply purr-fect at bringing comfort when it is needed most. 💙

Thank you to these im-paw-tent four-legged volunteers (and their humans!) for the love, care and un-fur-gettable comfort they bring every single day. 🐶

We’d love to celebrate your pets too! Share a photo of your furry (or feathered, or scaly!) friend in the comments and tell us what makes them paws-itively special 👇

Our Children and Young Adults Service had a fun time marking Chinese New Year - with colourful crafts and sensory food activities, including noodles to explore and beautifully scented sauces that brought lots of giggles and curiosity 😄

This is what hospice care looks like - supporting children and young adults to live well and enjoy meaningful moments together. 💙

A big thank you to our Children and Young Adults care team who make experiences like this possible 🥰

Wishing a very Happy Chinese New Year to everyone celebrating 🧧🐎✨
