Could you help St Oswald's be in with the chance of winning a share of the £1 million fund?

St Oswald’s Hospice are delighted to be on a shortlist to win a share of Persimmon Homes’ Building Futures £1 million pot supporting under-18s nationwide. At a gala dinner in October, cash awards of £100,000, £50,000 or £20,000 will be made to those charities who received the most online votes – but we need your help to be in with a chance of scooping a share of the funds.

We currently care for  57 children with complex physical and learning disabilities and are constantly looking at how we can improve our facilities for the families we support. If we are lucky enough to be a winner, the funding will be used to refurbish the Children and Young Adult’s Service main living space. Our plan is to transform our current large, open plan room into a series of exciting play and activity areas, keeping children of all ages safe, happy, stimulated and inspired, whatever our ‘new normal,’ requires of us.
