About St Oswald’s Hospice
St Oswald’s Hospice is a charitable hospice rooted in the North East. The hospice provides much more than what most people think of when they hear the word ‘Hospice’. St Oswald’s is an outstanding Hospice providing expert and specialist care and support care to babies, children, young people and adults with life-limiting conditions, and for their families too.
St Oswald’s is a place where people matter. A place that focuses both on living and dying well. It is a home-from-home, filled with honesty, camaraderie and hope that offers quality time for everyone. By enjoying Charity Cruise with DFDS, you will be helping to support the families who rely on the care of St Oswald’s Hospice,. Thank you.
