St Ann's Hospice's photostream

Founded nearly forty years ago, St Ann’s Hospice has grown to become the largest hospice in Greater Manchester and a key part of the North West community.

A recognised centre of excellence for specialist palliative care, St Ann’s Hospice helps those people who have progressive and life-threatening illnesses – as well as supporting their carers and families.

Who we are
St Ann’s Hospice is one of the largest adult hospices in the UK with 58 inpatient beds. We employ over 300 staff, serving a population of around 1.2 million people within Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Stockport and parts of Cheshire. We also care for a number of patients outside this geographical area. We are supported by around 600 volunteers.

How we are funded
Our care is provided free of charge. The NHS contributes just over 35% of our annual £9 million running costs. For the remaining £6 million, we rely on the generosity of the public.

Who we care for
Across our three sites, over 3,000 people use our services each year. We also provide care in people’s own homes.
