United Co-op Funeral Group – with over 150 funeral homes throughout the North West of England, North Midlands and Yorkshire Regions are proud and privileged to be sponsoring St Ann’s Hospice Will Week 2005.

St Ann’s Hospice aims to improve the quality of life of people living with life-threatening illnesses in Greater Manchester, while supporting their families and carers. As an independent charity, St Ann’s Hospice provides care to more than 3,000 people each year. All care is provided free of charge.

This is your chance to support St Ann’s and provide security and peace of mind for yourselves and loved ones by making or changing your Will.

St Ann’s Will Week has been running for a number of years and has been developed through a local network of solicitors, who will provide a free standard will-making service in return for a donation to the Hospice.

St Ann’s Hospice needs to raise £15,500 every day through voluntary contributions to offer its wide range of services. In total it costs £8.5 million each year to run the Hospice, of which only 33% is received from government funding. It is the support of the local community that enables St Ann’s Hospice to continue providing the highest standards of care to patients, families and carers.

Last year over £12,000 was raised from this campaign and your support for St Ann’s can really make a difference.
