News & Events

The Greatham Foundation has launched the search for a new Chief Executive Officer & Head of Finance to lead the charity into its next chapter of growth, innovation, and social impact.

We are pleased to share our 2023/24 Annual Report and Accounts. For over 750 years, our Charity has been a cornerstone of the community—offering vital care, support, and services to those who need it most

The Greatham Foundation is proud to announce that Lynn Kearney, a long-standing advocate for people living with Young Onset Dementia, has been awarded the prestigious High Sheriff Award by Michael Poole, High Sheriff of County Durham.

At The Greatham Foundation, we are committed to supporting people affected by dementia. That’s why we’re proud to have funded a powerful new booklet by Michael Booth, a Hartlepool man who has transformed his own young-onset dementia diagnosis into something that can help others find clarity and hope.

Stichell House Residential Care Home in Greatham, Hartlepool has been deeply moved and inspired by the incredible efforts of Lucy May Drummond, an 8-year-old girl who walked around her block 1,000 times over the course of 12 days earlier this year, before and after school, to raise funds in memory of her beloved Great Nanna, May.

The Greatham Foundation has a long and proud philanthropic history of working with vulnerable individuals across the North East of England. As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting community wellbeing, the charity runs an annual Small Grants Programme that provides funding to local, community-based organisations.

Staff at Primark Hartlepool have demonstrated incredible community spirit, raising over £800 for dementia charities and donating essential items to support people living with memory loss.

One of Hartlepool’s longest-standing charities has officially launched its new name and brand identity, marking the start of an exciting new chapter in its 750-year history. Formerly known as The Hospital of God at Greatham, the organisation will now be known as The Greatham Foundation.

Please note that the Estate Office will be closed from Tuesday 24 December 2024 and will re-open on Thursday 2 January 2025.
