About us

We are situated in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne and our purpose-built facilities offer a range of flexible services to North East families.

Our expert team includes doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplaincy, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and complementary therapists. As every patient and child is at the centre of what we do, working together, we strive to address not only their physical symptoms, but also their emotional and spiritual needs too.

Within our adult service, we offer a day hospice, lymphoedema service, an inpatient unit, complementary therapy service, consultant outpatient clinic and an outreach service.

Adults with life limiting conditions are referred to us for pain and symptom management and end of life care. We care for patients with Cancer, as well as those with end stage neurological, cardiac and respiratory conditions.

Within our Children and Young Adult Service, we offer specialist short breaks to children and young adults aged 0-25 with life limiting conditions and their families.

Our annual running costs amount to £12million, of which £8million has to be raised through voluntary donations and legacies. Without such support, we would not be able to provide our vital services to North East families.
