“The hospice doesn’t close at Christmas”
Help the families that might be spending their last Christmas together at St Ann’s Hospice through our Christmas appeal.
Our Christmas appeal raises vital funds to support the patients and families that need us on Christmas Day.
Tia is a Staff Nurse in the Inpatient Unit at our Heald Green hospice. She has put herself forward to work on Christmas Day this year.
“I worked the late shift on Christmas Day in my first year at St Ann’s. The hospice doesn’t close at Christmas – our patients and their loved ones still need us, so we come to work and carry out our duties like any other day.”
Fundraising is essential to the running of the hospice. Without your support we would not be able to keep our doors open, as only around one third of their income comes from the NHS.
Your donation, no matter how big or small, is invaluable to St Ann’s and the families that Tia will care for this Christmas.
It’s not just about the patients but about making it special for their families and visitors coming into the hospice on Christmas Day. It could be their last Christmas together – we want to do everything we can to ensure they have special moments and make lasting memories together. Tia, Staff Nurse
Just £20 could help to stock the drinks trolley so that patients and families could enjoy a hot drink or festive tipple together this Christmas Day. £30 could pay for a counselling session for someone who has been bereaved and struggling with their first Christmas since losing their loved one.
This Christmas, please donate anything you can to help St Ann’s. It would mean so much to the patients and families who rely on us and would be lost without us this Christmas.
Your donation makes a difference. To donate today please call St Ann’s Hospice on 0161 498 3631 or click here.
