We care for thousands of local people with cancer and non-cancer life-limiting illnesses every year.

St Ann’s Hospice is a charity which cares for thousands of people with life-limiting illnesses every year.

The hospice provides a free service to patients, carers and their loved ones from three sites in Greater Manchester, and a range of outreach services, supporting patients in the local community and their own homes.

Around a third of St Ann’s funding comes from the NHS, the rest from donations and the kind support of people who raise money to help patients and their families.

Every penny makes a real difference to those who really need it – right when they need it most.
