On Friday 21 March 2025 Willow Burn is celebrating 35 years of the hospice with a huge party you won’t want to miss!
2025 marks 35 years since Willow Burn Hospice was officially opened by H.R.H The Duchess of Kent. Willow Burn was made possible by founders Valerie Davison and Irene Mortimer, a grant from the Cancer Relief Macmillan Fund and by the generosity of local people.
Over 35 years, Willow Burn has seen a lot of changes, new faces, new services and a brand new hospice and community hub. One thing that hasn’t changed is that generosity from local people. Willow Burn is part of a community where we treasure lives and everyone is supported to live well and die well. Your support enables our team of doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants and counsellors to deliver hospice care of the highest standard to our patients and those important to them.
The annual black tie event will take place at the Winter Gardens at Beamish Hall and will raise funds towards the hospice’s daily care and support services, and will include entertainment, a drinks reception, a three-course meal with wine and auction. Returning to host the gala is North East personality and former BBC Radio Newcastle presenter Alfie Joey
Tickets are £55 each and sponsorship packages are £500 each.
