Your Stories
“How do I thank you all? Where do I begin? The care, love and support you showed my beautiful sister and also to our whole family was incredible. You are a superb team and you should be very proud of every shift you work. There aren’t enough words or big enough words to continue...so in the words of my sister...if the only prayer you say in your entire life is ‘thank you’ that’ll be enough. Much love to you all ”

How you can help us
There are so many ways you can support Willow Burn and the people of Derwentside.
The only limit is your imagination.
Do you want to host your own event? Do you own a business and could you donate your employees' time or some of your services? Would you like to become a regular giver as a Friend of Willow Burn? Are you a keen gardener who could donate plants to our garden gift shop? Could you volunteer in our shops, café or gardens?
These are just a few ideas but we know you will have more of you own. At Willow Burn, anything is possible, and everything is appreciated.
