For more than half a century, Moya Cole Hospice has stood as a beacon of compassion for families throughout Greater Manchester, offering expert care during life's most challenging moments.
A Christmas Unlike Any Other
While many across the region celebrate at home this festive season, dedicated hospice staff will be working tirelessly to support patients and their families. Nicole Manley, deputy head of clinical services, explains that this Christmas care creates truly special moments for those in their wards.
Seeing a patient's face light up when they receive their Christmas meal or share a favourite drink with loved ones creates memories that last forever, she notes. The hospice's famous drinks trolley remains a particular highlight, spreading joy and comfort throughout the facilities.
Your Gift of Care This Christmas
The hospice is calling for community support to maintain their high standards of palliative care. Donations can directly impact patients and families in numerous meaningful ways:
- Funding an entire nursing shift
- Enhancing the family room with new toys for children visiting loved ones
- Providing two-hour rehabilitation sessions to improve patient mobility
- Bringing peace and dignity to someone spending their final Christmas with family
Every contribution, regardless of size, will be felt in each moment of care provided by the dedicated teams.
