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.

As a counsellor at Moya Cole Hospice, I see them every day. 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.

This spring, I’m asking for your generosity to make more of these moments possible. 

Will you help us create more Moments that Matter? 

When you donate online, you can share a precious memory of your loved one or a moment that mattered to you in the Book of Memories. Donations of any size help create lasting memories.

Making a Will is a vital part of life, we never know what is going to happen in the future and by making a Will, you ensure that all the people you care about are provided for and your wishes will be fulfilled. 

That is why Moya Cole Hospice is launching Will Month. Creating a Will is a lot more straightforward and affordable than many people realise. 

As part of Will Month, which takes place in May, a number of local solicitors will be waiving their fees in return for a donation to Moya Cole Hospice as part of Will Month this May. 

Adele Turner created a Will following the death of her partner, Amanda who was cared for by Moya Cole Hospice for 12 days in 2023. 

“I’ve been in touch with the hospice for quite some time since Amanda passed away, and I know how much it costs to run the hospice. I like to help in any way that I can,” she said. 

Adele believes it is very important for anyone to make a Will. 

“Amanda didn’t have one at the time when she was moving from hospital to hospice. Fortunately, social workers at the hospital arranged one for us. If she hadn’t had one, all of the admin that I had to deal with afterwards would have been a much longer process,” she said. 

“Virtually every company that I dealt with afterwards from telephone companies to savings accounts all asked for a Will. It would have been a lot harder to deal with without that.” 

Moya Cole Hospice will be teaming up with a number of solicitors in May. The solicitors will be waiving their fees, and in return those who avail of Will Month may make a suggested donation to the hospice.

Belinda Neild will be leading the way this Sunday as she embarks on her upcoming charity dog walk in aid of Moya Cole Hospice. All are welcome to participate.  

The event is being organised with Worsley Old Hall.  

The school teacher from Salford is aiming to reach an astonishing £50,000 raised for the hospice by her 50th birthday in July.   

She has previously run marathons, organised events and charity walks, and even ran the 70-mile length of Hadrian’s Wall, all in aid of the hospice who cared for her mum, Joyce.  

The charity dog walk will be taking place at Worsley Old Hall, Walkden Road at 10am until noon this Sunday, March 29th.  

It is a 5k circle route and there will be complimentary pastries available.  

There’s no charge to take part, donations on the day for Moya Cole Hospice. Any contribution, big or small, will be gratefully received.  

To learn more about the event you can contact Belinda Neild – 07909 941273 or Megan Gillespie – email: worsley.old.hall@brunningandprice.co.uk  

The main event of Belinda’s fundraising efforts this year for Moya Cole Hospice will be a 100-mile Ultramarathon taking place just after her 50th birthday in July where she will be running from Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland along the Scottish coast and finishing at Edinburgh Castle.  

“I’m training well. Training with Salford Mets and Manchester Outdoor Fitness Heaton Park. I’m following a plan. I’ve been doing lots of trails ,hills, speed and running back to back long runs over the weekends. I’m training to run on tired legs as it is important for an Ultramarathon training. Sometimes proves very difficult inbetween teaching.  

“My husband, Stephen will be running the Ultra Marathon which will be fantastic.  

“Sadly, my dad, Roy died before Christmas Day, and it’s been tough but running has been helping with my grief. This run is going to be an extra special one because I want to do it for him as well. He was always a supporter of Moya Cole and my fundraising,” Belinda said.  

Belinda is less than £6,000 away from reaching her goal of raising a cumulative £50,000 for Moya Cole Hospice since she began fundraising for the hospice. You can help her reach her target before her 50th birthday by donating, here.
