We don't just treat the patient; families and carers are supported too. Can you help take our services forward by completing a questionnaire?

Our grateful thanks to all those in our community who raise funds for us in so many ways.

For the past four weeks a number of year 10 pupils from Copley Academy have been visiting Willow Wood to learn about Hospice care. Over this period, they have spent time with Day patients, staff and volunteers to gain a better understanding of the care and support offered to our patients and their families.

Willow Wood is noted as a centre of excellence, and Dr Juliana Cangussu from the University of Sao Paulo has been spending a month here, working with the clinical team, to find out more about the way the Hospice works.

Thursday 9 March saw Tameside Radio come to Willow Wood for the day. Between 10am and 3pm there were interviews with patients, with their loved ones, with staff and with volunteers, all giving a real insight into what goes on in a typical day at the Hospice.

There are only a very few adult hospices in the country with a hydrotherapy pool, and Willow Wood is extremely proud to be one of them.

Fantastic donation of kitchen units for our Waterloo shop

A lovely singing group chose Willow Wood as their Charity of the Year for 2016 and visited for a short concert and to present their wonderful donation.

After 17 years, founder chairman Don Newton revisits the Hospice to see developments in our care.

Here at Willow Wood the focus is on treating the whole person and we use complementary therapies alongside more conventional medical treatments. This holistic approach helps with relaxation and can provide a sense of wellbeing which in turn helps with both physical and emotional symptoms.
