Legacies
Remembering us in your Will
As our clinical services continue to change and develop to meet the growing needs of our communities living in North Northumberland, legacies enable us to ensure that future generations will be able to benefit from high quality end of life care and support , in a place of their choosing, at a time of their need, for as long as they need it. So if you are thinking about charitable giving as part of your Will please think about leaving a legacy to the HospiceCare.
Celebratory Giving
Are you having a party or special celebration?
Why not ask your guests to make a donation to HospiceCare in lieu of gifts.
We can give you special celebration envelopes to include with your invitations, or provide Coin Collection Tins for you to use on the night of your event.
If you would like more information, or to order some of our free celebration envelopes, please call us on: 01665 606515 or email Julie on: jfrost@hospicecare-nn.org.uk
Funeral Collections
Families, sometimes at the request of the deceased, may ask friends and family members to make donations to HospiceCare at the funeral in lieu of flowers.
Please be aware that not all churches allow charity collections at the funeral service, so do check with your undertaker who will be able to clarify this for you. Donations can always be sent directly to HospiceCare.
To help at this difficult and sensitive time, HospiceCare can supply special collection boxes and envelopes to use at the funeral. If this is something you would like to do, please either call us on: 01665 606515 or email julie on: jfrost@hospicecare-nn.org.uk.
Download our Giving Form
If you prefer to send us a donation in paper form rather than donate online, please click on the link below and pop your completed form in the post to us. You can use this form to make both one off donations or set up a regular donation to HospiceCare.
It costs £25 to deliver one hour of our Hospice at Home care and support. As an independent local charity, our income is not supported by the national charities such as Macmillan and Marie Curie

Great North Run Team 2019
Registration is now open to join our team on Sunday 8th September 2019.
Register Here
A spectator-lined course covers 13.1 miles from Newcastle, across the iconic Tyne Bridge and onto the picturesque coastal finish in South Shields.
The Great North Run is firmly established as the world’s most popular half-marathon. From just 5,000 runners at the very first staging in 1981, the event has now grown to an unmissable experience for over 54,000 each year.
The Great North Run is not only part of the culture in the North East, but has touched lives across the UK and around the world - with runners from over 40 different countries taking part.
Most runners choose to raise money for charities close to their hearts. Thank you very much for choosing HospiceCare North Northumberland.
Here are some thoughts from our previous runners -
"I just wanted to say a quick BIG thank you for putting on such a good "recovery tent" after the GNR. The lunch packs, sweets, cups of tea, massage and fantastic atmosphere really made it a very special day. Thanks again, see you next year......."
"Thanks again for yesterday the support and tent was fab!"
"Even though it was really tough, it was a privilege to be able to give back something to the hospice. Knowing that every penny raised will help other families provided real motivation to carry on! What a day!"
