Kathy will be bringing festive cheer to the Moya Cole Hospice ward this Christmas

Kathy will be working Christmas this year and is asking the public to support our Christmas Appeal

By Cathal Doherty on November 12, 2025

My name is Kathryn Edwards, and I’m a Health Care Assistant at Moya Cole Hospice. 

Working on Christmas Day is always a privilege. So, this year I’ll be here at the hospice, caring for patients and their loved ones during what can be an incredibly emotional and difficult time. 

It’s thanks to kind supporters like you that we can be there when people need us most. That’s why I’m asking you to support our Give the Gift of Care appeal this Christmas. 

Your donation will help ensure that every patient at Moya Cole Hospice receives the same warmth, dignity, and compassion you would wish for your own loved ones - especially on what may be their final Christmas together Kathryn Edwards, Healthcare Assistant, Moya Cole Hospice

We start the day early, helping patients to get ready so they can spend precious time with their loved ones. We do everything we can to make Christmas special – filled with love, comfort, and moments to cherish. 

We also make it extra special for those of us working, with small gifts and festive treats to share during our breaks. I never mind missing Christmas at home – as being on the wards at Moya Cole Hospice is always an honour. 

If you’d like to support our Give the Gift of Care appeal, please visit our website  

Wishing you a peaceful and joyful festive season.
