Will you walk for your local Hospice this September?
Join your local community for our annual sponsored walk around the East End on Sunday 7th September.
Choose from our special 12 mile Birthday Challenge or 3 mile family-friendly route, both starting and finishing at the Hospice, and help raise the vital funds we need to provide our care to everyone who needs it.
Calling all pubs, bars and restaurants!
This August, join forces with fellow local businesses for The Great East End Eats, a brand new 10-day campaign between 14th-24th August 2025.
Getting involved is easy: pick a special menu item, add a small donation to it and help raise vital funds to support our care.
Every participating venue will be added to a route map – think tapas route, East End style!
If you’d like to take part, the deadline to register is Thursday 17th July.

Celebrating 120 years of St Joseph’s Hospice
2025 marks 120 years since St Joseph’s Hospice first opened its doors to the people of East London.
In that time, we have cared for thousands of local people and families across Hackney and beyond, providing our compassionate care completely free of charge to people facing a life-limiting diagnosis. 120 years is a huge milestone, but everything we have achieved in that time has only been possible thanks to the incredible generosity of our community.
Support Us
As a charity with just over half of our income coming from the NHS, we need to raise around £6 million each year just to meet our running costs. There are many ways you can help us: by volunteering, fundraising, taking part in an event, making a donation, or by remembering us in your Will.
What's On
Fabulous fundraising events, community-based social and wellbeing events, as well education and training for local healthcare professionals.
Fundraise
Your help, no matter how big or small, is invaluable to the people we care for. There are so many ways that you can get involved and raise funds to ensure we can keep providing compassionate care to everyone who needs us.
Volunteer
Whether you would like to volunteer for a few hours, help with a short-term project, or make St Joseph’s a big part of your life, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
Donate
One-off and regular donations towards our work are vital for us to be able to do what we do. Your support enables us to care for the people of East London who need our help.
