Dr Kershaw's Hospice
Mental wellbeing
We aim to secure a complementary therapist to support those accessing bereavement support groups. This will address feelings of grief, stress and anxiety, promoting wellbeing and quality of life.
About this cause
We provide free, specialist, end-of-life and palliative care for adults with life-limiting illnesses in Oldham and its surrounding areas, in a peaceful and homely environment. Our patients are at the heart of everything we do, going the extra mile to ensure patients and their families make special memories which they can cherish for ever.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Bereavement support is a core focus of the Hospice; we have identified a need for greater support surrounding anxiety and stress management. This project will make a huge difference in our community, enabling bereaved people to develop coping strategies when faced with difficult emotions and to build upon their self-esteem, contributing to a happier standard of living.
