Past Events

Reindeer Run Superstars - Dame Dorothy Primary School

Dashing through the playground!

The students and staff of Dame Dorothy Primary School came together this morning to put on their festive running shoes in aid of St Benedict’s Hospice! The children asked their families and friends to sponsor them for this year’s Reindeer Run to raise vital funds for the Hospice. There was a sea of Christmas jumpers gallivanting across the playground and field which would bring a smile to anyone’s face; it was extraordinary to see the children un-phased by the cold, all in the name of charitable spirit. ⭐

Thanks to the generosity of the students, their parents, and corporate supporters such as Sunderland council, Sunderland Unison and Greggs, the total amount raised for St Benedict’s is over £1000! On behalf over everyone at St Benedict’s Hospice – THANK YOU! #TeamBenedict 💛💙

Dedication Tree 2024

Thank you to everyone that came and made a donation and dedication in The Bridges in November. Together, we raised a total of £7,418 for St Benedict’s Hospice! 💜⭐

This amount will help us fund vital care now and into the future. Thank you again #TeamBenedict

Thank you also, to all of our wonderful volunteers that made it possible to run this 2 week long event #Superstars ⭐⭐⭐

Christmas Fair 2024

A HUGE thank you to everyone that came along to St Benedict’s Christmas Fair on the 9th of November! 🕯🎄

With everyone’s help, we’ve raised over £2700 for the Hospice, with some donations still to come in! Thank you to everyone that volunteered at the event and to the external vendors for bringing such beautiful things for our supporters to shop.💛💙
