Home / Our Care / Patients & Families / Chaplaincy
Spiritual care is about finding meaning, hope, and purpose, especially during serious illness or health changes. Whether through personal achievements, relationships, nature, or faith, spirituality is unique to everyone. Whatever you may be going through, East Cheshire Hospice is committed to supporting not just your physical needs but also your spiritual well-being. Our Chaplain and volunteers offer a listening ear, support, or prayers, respecting all beliefs, faiths, or none, in a non-judgemental and confidential way. This care is available to patients, families, carers, and friends all in a non-judgemental way whilst respecting confidentiality.
The Hospice has a small Chapel which is a quiet space in which to rest a while and to enjoy some peace. If you would like to request prayer you can either write on one of the paper butterflies and attach it to the prayer tree or place a slip in the box near to the chapel entrance. All requests are prayed for by the Chaplain at one of the prayer times in the Chapel.
The Chaplaincy team is also available to provide religious care to those of faith.
The STAR Group is an opportunity for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one to meet up and chat.
It takes place in the Sunflower Living Well Centre on the 2nd Friday of each month 2-4pm, and the 4th Wednesday of each month 7-9pm.
There’s no need to book, you can simply just drop in for a chat.
For more information or to register your interest please contact Amy Williams on 01625 665668 amy.williams@echospice.org.uk.
Join us for a thoughtful conversation about death, dying, and bereavement in a safe space, accompanied by tea, coffee, and cake.
The Death Café offers a space to discuss questions like, “Do I need a funeral?” “What are my options?” and “How do I have a good death?”
These events are open to everyone, but please be aware this is a general discussion and not a counselling or support group.
Please contact Hospice Chaplain Marion Tugwood for upcoming dates and more information. 01625 664981 (Direct) marion.tugwood@echospice.org.uk.
We offer monthly Time to Remember Services and an annual Light up a Life Service. Both these services offer the opportunity to remember your loved ones, celebrate their lives and include the symbolic lighting of a candle in their loving memory.
The monthly services are by invitation, and you will be invited to a specific service after your loved one’s death. The services offer a simple reflective space in which to remember alongside others who are on similar journeys with loss and grief. The Light up a Life services take place in December and are open to all. Look for information on our website in the autumn.
