This wonderful charity is close to my heart and very personal to me. Sadly, both my mum and auntie passed away peacefully at St Ann’s Hospice. They received excellent end-of-life care and I was provided with fantastic support from the caring staff. I can’t thank them enough and wanted to give something back. 

We are honoured to have been chosen by Councillor Gina as one of her charities, with our Little Hulton site being a vital part of the community in Salford.
