New name, same outstanding care
Today, we at St Ann’s Hospice are announcing our intentions to change our name.
On Wednesday, 1st October 2025, St Ann’s Hospice will become Moya Cole Hospice.
The change honours our inspirational founder and the work of hospice pioneers. It is not a decision we have taken lightly, and we do so knowing that for some, this will be difficult news.
To continue serving and caring for those impacted by life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones for years to come, we must ensure that we reflect the wonderful and diverse community that surrounds us and remain culturally relevant in our modern world.
Although a change has been in discussion for many years, making the change at this point in our journey, as we open a new site in Heald Green, and with plans to refurbish Little Hulton in the near future, means we have reduced the cost involved to a minimal amount.
Our name is changing, but I want to reassure you that our commitment to providing outstanding care remains the same. The way we are governed and managed is not changing and our incredible staff will continue their dedicated and compassionate work.
Our founder, Dr Moya Cole, was a trailblazing woman who knew how important hospice care was, and still is, for the community. We move to this next chapter of our history with her legacy and dedication to excellent end-of-life care in our hearts and minds.
If you are a regular donor, have left a gift in your will or play our lottery, you don’t need to take any action. Our charity number and trading company number will stay the same, so you don’t need to do anything. You will notice that from October the name of the payee on your bank statement will change to Moya Cole Hospice.
