Easter fundraisers to help hospice patients

St Ann's Hospice fundraisers Marie Foster, Sam O'Reilly and Fran Schofield

St Ann’s Hospice is inviting people from across Greater Manchester to join them in a range of Easter fundraising activities.

St Ann’s, which provides care for patients from its three sites in Heald Green, Little Hulton and The Neil Cliffe Centre in Wythenshawe Hospital, as well as via a range of outreach services, has developed a special free fundraising pack full of Easter tips, hints and ideas.

Eamonn O’Neal, Chief Executive of St Ann’s Hospice, said: “Our fundraising team have put together a huge raft of ideas to help raise money for our patients this year.

“From quizzes, activity sheets and egg hunt ideas, to fancy dress days and baking challenges, there are lots of ways local people can have fun, help us out, and really make a difference to the lives of the people we support.

“It’s fitting that so many people choose to support us at Easter as we always make a real effort to ensure our hospice sites are decorated with amazing art, and that there are lots of cakes and treats for our patients and visitors to enjoy.

“Our creative therapists often work with patients on special Easter artwork or crafts too – in fact, the whole hospice is a hive of activity, and it’s great to be part of it.

“Any donation, however large or small, really does make a difference to the people we care for, so thanks very much in advance for your support.”
