At St Catherine’s, support comes from every corner of the hospice, not just from our wonderful community, but from our incredible staff too.

We’re so proud of Matt from Finance, Rosie and Emma from our In-Patient Unit, James from Fundraising, and Craig from IT – who are all taking on the Great North Run 2025 this September to raise vital funds for the hospice.

They see first-hand the difference your donations make every day. And now they’re going the extra (13.1) miles to make sure that care can continue.

Please show them some love and cheer them on as they train. We’ll be right behind them all the way! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💚

📢 Event update: Morecambe Bay Walk – cancelled

We’re so sorry to share that tomorrow’s Morecambe Bay Walk has been cancelled by the organisers due to safety concerns in the River Kent, following recent weather conditions. Lots of fresh water means depth is unpredictable and footing is soft in lots of areas.

The safety of walkers is always the top priority, and no risks are ever taken 💚

👉 All participants will receive an email shortly with further information.

We appreciate it's sad news, and not what any of us want, but would like to thank you for your understanding and continued support.

💚This week’s Thank You Thursday is all about our amazing August skydivers!💚

We went along to cheer them on but not jumping ourselves this time 😅, we're in awe of our brave, thrill-seeking supporters taking to the skies!

Thousands of feet up in the air, raising thousands of pounds to support local people facing life-shortening illness.

A huge thank you to the Mayor of South Ribble and Consort (Paul and Chris), Donna, David, Jenna, Luke, Sue and Emma. Together you’ve raised around £7,000 for St Catherine’s! 🙌

Our next Skydive in October is already fully booked, but if you fancy the challenge in 2026, dates are now set:
📅 Saturday 14th March
📅 Saturday 17th October

💚 Thank you Thursday 💚

This week we’re extra grateful for some amazing supporters who’ve gone the extra mile (quite literally in some cases!).

🏃‍♂️ Ross and Anthony took on the Windmill Half Marathon and raised an incredible £995! What a brilliant effort – thank you so much both of you!

💍 Newlyweds Billy and Lorna Wilson tied the knot in early August and, after 37 years together, chose to ask for donations instead of wedding gifts. They raised funds in memory of Billy’s beloved dad and brother. Huge congratulations to the Wilsons and thank you for thinking of us on your special day

🥾 A big thank you to Becky Demaine who completed the Chorley 3 Peaks with her friends and family – a 13.5-mile trek including White Coppice and Rivington – and raised £367!

📚 And thank you to everyone who donated at the book table in Booths Fulwood, raising £362! Your generosity makes such a difference. Remember you can still drop off your unwanted books there. All donations go directly to supporting our care.

We’re so grateful for every step, every story, and every donation. Thank you for making a difference.

💚 Our Butterfly Ball is sold out, but we still need your support 💚

We're looking for auction and raffle prizes to make this 40th anniversary celebration even more special.

Every kind gesture starts a ripple of compassion. Your generosity helps us keep delivering care when people need it the most.
