As a charity our mission is simple: to support the excellence in treatment, research and care we provide to our patients each and every day.  We want to make a real difference to the people we treat – young and old – by making sure that they continue to receive the very best treatment in the very best facilities. We do this by focussing our fundraising efforts on three key areas – treatment, research and care.

There’s so much we do – and we couldn’t do it without you, so thank you.

Providing care, comfort and compassionate support to patients and their loved ones is our number one priority. All of our services are provided free of charge to those who need them. However, only 17% of our funding is from the government and the remainder is donated by the communities we serve: Buxton, Congleton, High Legh, High Peak, Knutsford, Macclesfield, Poynton, Wilmslow and everywhere in between.

St Ann’s Hospice is a charity which cares for thousands of people across Greater Manchester with life-limiting illnesses every year. 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.  By running for the hospice and joining #TeamStAnn’s, you’ll have access training and nutrition advice, regular training runs and your very own running vest.
