St Cuthbert’s first opened its doors in 1988 and in September 2018 celebrated its 30th anniversary. Set in the beautiful surr ... oundings of the historical Park House, just outside of Durham City Centre, the Hospice provides free care and support for people with life-limiting conditions and their families. In 2015 St Cuthbert's was the first Hospice in the UK to be awarded Outstanding status by the Care Quality Commission. At the heart of St Cuthbert’s is the individual who is seen as a unique person deserving of respect and dignity. Our aim is to support each person and their family and friends, helping them to make informed choices and decisions affecting their lives. All of this care is provided free of charge to our patients. We make no charge for our services and must raise £2 million each year through charitable donations and fundraising events in order to continue our work. read more
