Moments that Matter
Create Moments that Matter for our patients.
A warm embrace, a mug of tea, the kindness of a nurse. A comforting meal, family time, learning to walk again – these are the Moments that Matter to those dealing with the most difficult periods of their lives.
When someone is adjusting to a life-limiting illness, is at the end of their life, or is supporting a loved one in these situations, these moments become their anchor.
Every day at Moya Cole Hospice, we do everything we can to create more of these moments — moments of comfort, joy, dignity and connection when they’re needed most.
This spring, we’re asking for your help to make more of these moments possible.
How to get involved

Why your support matters
Every act of kindness and every penny raised helps ensure that families facing the most difficult of times can still experience moments of comfort, connection and support.
The hospital couldn’t do any more for Rob, and referred us to the hospice. Being here has been absolutely invaluable. If Dr Waterman hadn’t provided me with the confidence to care for Rob, I don’t think it would have been possible to keep him at home. I felt very calm after every appointment. It made a negative journey in our lives more manageable with understanding and positive care. Jayne, whose husband Rob was cared for by Moya Cole Hospice
I’m walking now, I’m able to dress myself, take care of myself. [The Rehab Team] taught me to manage my breath so I could walk. I thought that the life I was living at home was the life that I’d got. I’ve been here for four weeks, and the level of transformation is beyond anything I could have ever expected. Pamela Wolth, who lives with COPD, developed strength to walk again thanks to the Moya Cole Hospice Rehab Team
The Being You Centre sessions don’t just help you to cope with symptoms. They allow you to talk to other people who are in the same sort of position as you are. I also received a lot of information which I never knew. I was also allowed to bring my dog, Ren, along to my sessions. He put a smile on everyone’s face and bringing him into sessions really helped to boost spirits. Walter Tomlin, patient of the Being You Centre at Moya Cole Hospice
