Fiona Bruce MP gives key note address at hospice event…
Fiona Bruce gave the opening address at the prestigious launch of the St Luke’s initiative, the Cheshire Living Well, Dying Well Partnership. Supported by Macmillan Cancer Support, this is a coalition of over 40 organisations from across Cheshire that are committed to making a difference.
“I would like to congratulate Macmillan and St. Luke’s Hospice for their foresight. I look forward to seeing how the work of the team and the partnership progresses, as only by working together will a real difference be made” said Fiona.
Rachel Zammit, Lead for the Macmillan EOL Public Health Team at St Luke’s, also explained to attendees that the vision is to break down taboos and encourage a change in our attitude and behaviours, to help living well and dying well become the norm. “The launch is just the beginning of our story” she said, “As a team we are looking forward to continue work with partners on this journey”
The event also included readings from members of Winsford Creative Writing Group, the premier of the animation, Cheshire ‘Bill United’ and a personal account from Living Well, Dying Well Volunteer, Kate Thompson.
