Willow Wood Hospice

It's Grief Awareness Week and this year’s theme is 'Shining a light on people, places and projects'. Our Family Support and Bereavement team are here to support the emotional and psychological needs of our patients and their families. We provide one-to-one and group counselling, alongside art therapy groups and standalone projects throughout the year. We also have Spiritual Support volunteers to offer a listening ear. If you would like to know more about accessing our support, you can call 0161 669 4851. We stand among a wider community of support and projects too. A great place to begin for more information is The Good Grief Trust at https://lnkd.in/gMmw_kS #GriefAwarenessWeek

An important documentary aired on ITV on Thursday evening called ‘Keeping Care Alive: Hospices in Crisis?’ The 30-minute programme raised a range of thought-provoking points about the sector as a whole and the challenges it faces. The investigation was led by ITV News Investigations Editor Daniel Hewitt, whose mum received end-of-life care at a hospice.

Last week, we proudly joined forces with other organisations and partners across the Tameside Adults Safeguarding Partnership Board (TASPB) in support of National Adults Safeguarding Week. The theme of this year's campaign was 'Working in Partnership'. At Willow Wood, we are committed to ensuring everyone - our patients, families and workforce - are safeguarded, supported and respected. It's important to connect with our partners to ensure the safety of all.   #hospice #charity #safeguarding #adultssafeguardingweek #community #tameside #partnershipworking
