New name but the same values, care and support

MY name is Peter O'Brien and I am the Chaplaincy Support Coordinator here at St Ann's Hospice.

We have announced our intention to change from St Ann's Hospice to Moya Cole Hospice.

The change will coincide with the completion of our new hospice in Heald Green.

New name but same values, care and support.

I was speaking to a Bishop recently who believes that if the founders of the hospice thought the name St Ann caused just one person any confusion or concerns which prevented them from accessing our hospice services then they would have changed the name.

As we have seen, Moya Cole was a remarkable woman who was ahead of her time; so what can be a more fitting tribute to her vision over 50 years ago than to rebrand the hospice in her name.

She would be thrilled to know that people from our multi-ethnic and diverse communities, of all faith traditions and those who profess none, will continue to be welcomed and receive all the support they need from Moya Cole Hospice.
