St Oswald's Hospice

St Oswald's Hospice is a UK hospice charity providing compassionate specialist care for people with life-limiting illnesses and support for their families across the North East of England. The charity offers clinical services, symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, bereavement care and community programmes designed to help people live as well as possible when facing serious illness. St Oswald's is staffed by healthcare professionals and supported by volunteers who work together to deliver dignified, person-centred care.

The hospice operates locally throughout County Durham and Tyne & Wear, ensuring that adult patients across the region have access to free hospice care close to home. Its services extend into community outreach and support networks that help families cope with the challenges of serious illness both before and after bereavement.

St Oswald's Hospice Charity Shops

St Oswald's Hospice runs a large network of charity shops across the North East, with outlets in towns including Blaydon, Blyth, Byker, Cramlington, Dunston, Forest Hall, Gateshead and Gosforth, among others. These stores sell donated pre-loved clothing, accessories, books, furniture, and homewares - including a dedicated boutique in Jesmond with designer labels. Proceeds from shop sales raise essential funds for the hospice's care services, and the charity also operates an eBay shop featuring one-off and collectible items.
