“They are fantastic to me. I can’t rate them highly enough. Staff at Manorlands Hospice have sorted a pain management programme for me which means I’m now enjoying being back in the comfort of my own home. It’s great to be back home and to be up and about again,” these are the words of patient Ann Greene. Ann was diagnosed in 2015 with cancer which unfortunately it’s now back. With no more treatment available to her, Ann organised an ‘Awake party’ for her family and friends to help celebrate her life. She has raised a staggering £1000 for Manorlands Hospice. We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive from people like Ann and her family and friends. All our care services are completely free of charge to patients and their loved ones, but we receive only 32% of funds to cover the costs of all our services, we need to raise the remaining £2.3m.
