Why is this important?
MANORLANDS is facing closure within months due to a funding crisis.
Sue Ryder, which runs the Oxenhope hospice, says income has dried-up because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The charity, which relies on public donations to maintain its services, has had to close its shops and cancel fundraising events.
Now, with a potential funding gap of £12 million over the next three months, Sue Ryder is warning that without immediate financial support it will be forced to shut its hospices and stop providing its other end-of-life services.
“During this particular period it should be providing 100 per cent funding – and then looking to the future, covering at least half the running costs of our hospices.”
