Story
Thanks for visiting our National 3 Peaks fundraising page.
Willow Wood is a charity close to my heart, my mother was due to go there but unfortumately didn’t quite make it to enjoy her last days, the staff on the lead up were fantastic and have also taken care of other friends and family members.
Set in a tranquil and leafy location in Ashton-under-Lyne, the purpose built Hospice provides specialist Palliative Care to those suffering with life-threatening illnesses. The Hospice first opened its doors for Day Hospice patients in May 1999 and for In-Patients the following September. Since then, the Hospice has cared for more than 2,000 patients and their families.
The Hospice is a place of warmth and comfort set in a homely environment which is often a relief to those who have spent months - sometimes years - in and out of hospital. Contrary to belief, the Hospice is full of life, love and laughter; staff ensure patients maintain their dignity and live life to the full within their own limitations.
