We are delighted to announce that our Light up a Light Appeal raised an incredible £130,000 for St Columba’s Hospice Care over the festive period.
This sensational amount will make a huge difference to our patients and their families at a vitally important time in their lives.
Thank you again for your support.
Starting Wednesday 22nd January, join us at Story Circle to share, create, and explore stories together. Whether you bring a moment from your life, a story you’ve written, or simply want to work with a prompt or story provided, there’s a place for you here.
No need for perfect words—just bring your curiosity. You’ll be supported and guided as we see where our stories take us!
This group is open to all Hospice patients, including those from the community, as well as to families and carers. Sessions are facilitated by our Dramatherapist, Sally, and will take place in our Art Studio from 11.00am-12.30pm.

VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES WITH ST COLUMBA’S
Did you know our team of Compassionate Gardeners make an immediate and heartwarming impact on the lives of those living at home with an end-of-life diagnosis who yearn to spend precious time in their much-loved gardens.
Coming alongside the garden owners, our green fingered volunteers offer a little deserved TLC to help restore the loveliness of the garden and by doing so often greatly add to the sense of wellbeing of the garden owner and often the volunteer too.
As one of our volunteers recently laughed ‘as I work in the garden, the garden works on me too!’
By offering two hours once a fortnight volunteers can really make the world of a difference to someone living with a palliative condition and also share the joy of gardening.
To find out more, email Maggie on myoung@stcolumbashospice.org.uk
