About St Oswald's Hospice

St Oswald's Hospice has been at the heart of Gosforth since 1986, providing expert palliative care for adults and children with life-limiting conditions. The hospice offers a 15-bed adult inpatient unit, an 8-bedroom children's service, a purpose-built young adults facility, a day hospice (Focus on Living Centre), the North East's largest specialist lymphoedema service, and community outreach. All services are completely free. The hospice needs to raise over seven million pounds a year through charitable giving, supported by more than 950 volunteers and over 20 charity shops across the region. In 2026 the hospice celebrates its 40th anniversary with a Peter Rabbit sculpture trail across Tyneside.
