Moya Cole Hospice

Moya Cole Hospice (formally St Ann's Hospice), is a charity in Greater Manchester, England, providing palliative care.

It was established in 1971 on the initiative of Dr Moya Cole from the Christie Hospital, Manchester. It now runs two centres: Moya Cole Hospice Heald Green and Moya Cole Hospice, Little Hulton. On 3 July 2025 it announced its plan to change its name from St Ann's Hospice to the Moya Cole Hospice in October 2025, which was actioned as planned.[1]

Like most hospices in the UK, it is largely funded by voluntary donations. About a third of its funding is provided by the NHS, so has to raise around £20,000 a day to keep the hospices open.[2]

In 2014 the organisation abandoned national NHS payscales and set up its own.[3]
