St Cuthbert’s Hospice celebrates a remarkable achievement as it reaches its fundraising goal of £100,000 to tackle to financial strain caused by escalating energy expenses.
The ‘Power Up! Appeal’ launched by the Hospice in July 2023 has rallied immense support from generous donors, the local community, charitable organisations, and corporate partners, all coming together to champion the cause and raise vital funds.
St Cuthbert’s Hospice, situated in County Durham, is dedicated to providing free care and support to individuals living with life-limiting illness, people approaching the end of life and people that are bereaved. The Hospice needs to fundraise over £2.5m every year to deliver its services and has encountered similar challenges to all of us during the current cost of living crisis.
The successful result of the ‘Power Up! Appeal’ not only alleviates financial pressures but also ensures the continuation of vital services to care for, laugh with, listen to, comfort, and help make special memories for thousands of individuals and families across County Durham each year.
