Wigan and Leigh HospiceVerified by JustGiving
RCN 513400
We provide specialist end-of-life care, and a wide range of support services, to over 1,200 people who are living with a life-limiting illness in the Wigan Borough. Many patients are cared for in their own homes, although we also care for people living in care homes and in our In-Patient Unit.

Story

Like all of you we are coming to terms with the impact of the global Coronavirus.

Here at the Hospice we have had to make some tough decisions, including closing all 13 of our charity shops as well as suspending online sales. We cannot continue to collect our door to door lottery subscriptions and we expect that we will not be able to carry out our usual fundraising events. As a charity which receives less than a third of its income from Government this will have a devastating impact upon our finances.

This is why we are asking you for help. It is needed now more than it ever has been in the 37 years we have been caring for the people of Wigan and Leigh.

We recognise that this is a difficult and scary time for us all but, if you are able to, please help to protect your Hospice and ensure that when this is all over we are still here and able to provide care to patients for generations to come.

Every penny counts.

Thank you
