About East Cheshire Hospice
About This Shop
Putting patients and families first.
When it comes to our patients and their families, nothing is too much trouble for the caring and compassionate staff at East Cheshire Hospice. We take time to see beyond the patient’s condition to the whole person and their family, caring for your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We’re here to help you carry the load, giving you the time and space to be a family in an embracing and respectful environment.
Nestled in a quiet residential area of Macclesfield, many people are pleasantly surprised by the light and airy Hospice building with its friendly atmosphere and plenty of smiling and laughter. As well as our 15-bed inpatient unit, one-third of our patients are outpatients, carers, and family members, attending various support groups and 1-to-1 appointments in our dedicated Sunflower Centre.
Many more support services
Families may be involved with the Hospice for a number of days, weeks, months, or years, depending on the progression of the patient’s illness and the services they choose to use. As well as specialist medical care, pain relief, symptom control, and respite care, we offer many more support services. From carers’ support groups to complementary therapies, legal and financial advice, all our services are provided free of charge thanks to the daily support from our community.
Our Shops
Our shops play a vital role in raising funds for the hospice and being a central part of the local community. A lot of people don’t realise how our patient care is paid for. Like other hospices, we are not fully NHS or privately funded, nor do we charge any of our patients or their families for staying with us or using our outpatient and support services.
Our shops offer a whole range of items from clothing, toys, and ceramics to household goods and furniture. We can pick up your furniture donations free of charge within our catchment area.
Our eBay shop offers a further range of goods from collectibles to high-end fashion:
