The Build it Together appeal was launched in June 2022 and is a public appeal to raise funds for the new hospice building located in Heald Green.
Construction started on the new building in June 2023 and is nearing completion with the aim of opening the hospice doors in the early new year.
Head of Fundraising and Captial Campaign at St Ann’s Hospice, Anne-Marie Wynne says she has been overwhelmed by the support of the public.
“We knew the goal we set of £2m in June 2022 was a huge ask but the way in which local communities have gotten behind the Build it Together appeal from the very beginning has been amazing.
“Individuals and community groups right across the region have worked so hard to raise funds towards our new hospice building and look how far we have come. We have reached the £2m goal.
Watching the development of the building on the land next to the current hospice over the last 18 months and seeing how close we are to completion is incredible and we would not be where we are today without the kindness and generosity of those within the St Ann’s community,” she said.
Now that the Build it Together appeal has been reached it does not mean we are finished fundraising for the new build.
The Name on the Wall and Sponsor a Bedroom initiatives are still active. The Name on the Wall campaign asks those within the community to donate £1,000 for their name to be placed on our wall in the new hospice. This £1,000 is accumulative across all donations towards the new build. The Sponsor a Bedroom appeal asks for £50,000 for the furnishing and kitting out of one of our patient bedrooms within the new hospice.

St Ann’s Hospice provides holistic care to patients with life-limiting illnesses – comprising inpatient care, and supportive outpatient services from its sites at Heald Green, Stockport and Little Hulton, Salford.
The teams at the hospice also provide a range of community and outreach services to patients, including care in the place they call home via a Hospice at Home service available in Salford and Trafford, the hospice’s Community Specialist Palliative Care Team in Salford, and the homelessness palliative care service in Manchester. A 24-hour telephone advice line is available to patients, carers and healthcare professionals in Salford, Manchester, Trafford and Stockport.
The hospice relies heavily on donations from the public and needs to raise approximately £20,000 a day to keep the two hospice sites operational.
