St Ann's Hospice

An evening to remember 🖤💛🖤 We are thrilled and humbled by the success of last night’s Great Mancunian Ball, which raised an incredible £565,980 for our new hospice appeal. This remarkable amount will ensure our move from our current 150-year-old building to a brand-new, purpose-built hospice. The event was organised by the talented Manchester-based events team at Taylor Lynn Corporation (TLC), with support from Truth Creative Manchester and the team at St Ann’s Hospice. Entertainment from We Are The Overlap and Paris-based Swanband added a touch of magic to the evening, while Hessian Fine Dining delighted guests with a stunning menu.
