Over £3500 raised at our Sunflower Summer Fair Event on the 6th of July!

Our supporters helped us raise a whopping £600+ for St Benedict’s Hospice at our Quiz Night on the 29th of April!

National tree week takes place from the 25th November – 3rd December.

The Emissions and EES teams from Nissan, Sunderland spent a soggy Friday working in our grounds and gardens.

There have been a lot of Red Admiral and Tortoiseshell butterflies spotted in the hospice gardens.

What a difference a few weeks make! The sun has been shining and it feels a little warmer, or might that just be wishful thinking? The first therapeutic horticulture group of the year has been on the go for a couple of weeks now and we have been enjoying bringing spring vibes to the rooftop garden.

We hope you enjoyed watching the coronation of Their Majesties The King and Queen Camilla over the bank holiday weekend.

Hospice staff, patients and their families joined in the celebrations with decorations, afternoon teas and even a staff crown-making competition.

Welcome back to ‘Tales from the Garden’! March has been a funny old month hasn’t it. Snow, rain, wind, glorious sunshine and sometimes all in one day! Now, as I sit writing this month’s blog, it is all about the daffodils. They are looking fabulous here at the hospice at the moment.

Welcome everyone to the very first ‘Tales from the Garden’! My name is Stephanie, I am one of the Occupational Therapists here at the hospice and have a passion for social and therapeutic horticulture (STH), which I would very much like to tell you a little more about.
