Celebrate 40 years of St John's

This year, St John’s Hospice is celebrating 40 years of care! Join us as we look back over the last four decades and explore the exciting ways you can get involved in the celebrations.

40 years of care

This year, St John’s Hospice is celebrating 40 years of care! From much smaller beginnings in 1984, we now support more than 4,000 people living with life-limiting illnesses and their families across North London each year.

To celebrate this special occasion, we have created our new ‘40 years of care’ logo. The new logo features leaves of Lemon Balm (calming) and Hawthorn (love and healing), as well as the official symbol of our 40th year, the Jasmine flower (happy memories).

We've got lots of exciting ways you can help us celebrate our fortieth year and all the happy memories shared along the way!

Dedicate a St John's Jasmine Flower

As part of our anniversary celebrations, we're inviting you to dedicate one of our hand-crafted jasmines to someone special or as a reminder of your ongoing support of our hospice.
