Once again our charity partners, workplace supporters and volunteers have gone above and beyond with their amazing fundraising, donations and support for the Hospice. We could not be more grateful!

Our partnership with Barratt’s continues into 2023, and to date they’ve raised a staggering £100,000 through their staff fundraising and match funding! This amazing total will help us to continue to care for patients with life-limiting illnesses in our local communities and their families.

Join us for one of the biggest events in our calendar our fantastic Dragon Boat Race on the 9th of September at Port Edgar Marina. Dragon Boating is an adrenaline pumping water sports activity. Crews of up to 17 people compete in 250m races.

Each boat has a drummer beating in time to keep the paddlers in unison and a helmsperson in the stern to guide the boat. No prior Dragon Boating experience is required. If you, your colleagues or friends would like to ‘sea’ how you would fare at Dragon Boating you can contact asouthey@ stcolumbashospice. org.uk for more information on this year’s event.

As Spring approaches we are looking forward to welcoming back many volunteering groups from various different companies over the next few months.
